Excel 12 (beta 1) review
Reviews Like the rest of the Office 12 system, Excel 12 places a host of functions available at a glance within a ribbon of functions atop each page -- say farewell to the familiar toolbars and drop-down menus.

Inside Excel 2007 beta 2 review
Reviews As with the other applications in the Office 2007 system, you can customise the Quick Access menu and display its functions below the Ribbon. The Office 2007 system introduces XML-based files that are smaller than the previous XLS spreadsheets.

Inside Outlook 2007 beta 2 review
Reviews Overall, the main interface of Outlook 2007 beta 2 looks largely the same as version 2003's, without a top-heavy Ribbon of features being applied to the rest of the Office 2007 system. The email composition window displays the tabbed Ribbon similar...

LindowsOS 2.0 review
Reviews Except for Office 2000, there's no listing of supported programs. Sure, an expert eye can tell in a moment that this isn't Windows, but casual observers might not even notice the difference until, say, OpenOffice pops up instead of Microsoft Office.
