Office 11 Beta2 - Neat!

I really like it, although in reality, nothing changed that much.

Pics? LInkies? \
some of us aren't so privelaged to see pre-release stuff so far in advance.
 
Check out the blatantly biased Winsupersite; you might find some screenies and a review. People like me who like free software beware, because Paul (or whoever it is that runs that site now) will probably make you puke.
 
well either you have MSDN access or its pirated since the Beta Testers have not even gotten it as of yet. Supposed to have our copies in the next few weeks. Beta 1 have been surprisingly stable over the past few months.

go to #winbeta.


The best part about Office 11 is Outlook. Very much improved presentation of e-mail, especially when using IMAP. The worst part is that the products are all skinned to XP's default skins. It's UGLY. They can be turned off to classic mode, however, just like XP itself. By the way, Microsoft itself accidently put up beta 2 on it's MSDN site, before realizing their mistake and taking it down.

Edit: i think the surprising stability is because they haven't done much at all.
 
what i don't get is if people eather have office 2000 or office xp why would they update to office 11(also known as office 2003)?
 
ah, more "features" that no one will ever figure out how to use
does frontpage still suck?
 
I've been using O11 beta 1 for quite a while... Outlook 2003 is VERY slick. Definately the biggest evoltution for Outlook I've ever seen.... I've been an office users since Office 5.0. 🙂

I'll copy and upload them to my (as far as I know) relatively bandwidth unlimited ISP web space. Just a moment...
 
I've been beta testing Office 11 for MS since it came out. Outlook 11 is by far the best feature. The new preview pane is just wonderful, I could never go back. I can't wait for my Beta 2 CD to ship out.

See the picture that Buck_Naked provided. The whole Outlook interface is new. I also like how each new mail message's subject and first line fades in and out on the desktop.

looks like they changed the buttons for the stuff on the left side a little bit and moved the preview pane from the bottom to the right side...

Well, you can't really imagine it until you've actually used it. It's a much easier/simpler way of doing things.

does outlook still block exe and vbs attachments? It's what killed outlook for me. I can manage my own attachments dammit.
