Big Heads Over At Microsoft Office!

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: May 18th, 2009 | 0 Comments

Its not too long ago since office 2007 was released, and people are still getting used to its new look and feel as it is fairly different to the good old 2003 version. I now know my way around the office 2007 really well, and what do i hear now? They are going to be bringing out a Office 2010!

Now i dont expect the interface to change too much, i reckon it will just contain some more features and perhaps make it easier to use for users who have not grasped how to work office 2007. Apparently Microsoft Office 2010 will be compatible on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, basically if you can run Office 2007 then there should be no problem with Office 2010.

Anyway the reason i am calling microsoft office creators ‘big-headed’ is because they really think that Office 2010 is going to be a real breakthough, so much that they have made a website for it, nothing unusual there since everything has a website these days. However they decided to go a different route with this site, instead of advertising there new Office as a program they are calling it the ‘Countdown to the beginning of awesome’ like come on that is just really big headed, they have already set the bar high and if they dont deliver on this so called ‘awesomeness’ then they will have a bit of a let down!

Another thing they have done with this new site is make it just like a movie site, yep they are so confident that they are pretending the best film ever is coming when really it is just a new office application suite! It says ‘In 2010 there hero will arrive’ :O they expect me to view office 2010 as my hero!

I cant wait to see this, as i write this there is 43 Days until the launch of the technical preview of there new office suite, and oh yeah they even have a countdown to the release! You have to see it though i just think it is funny the approach that they are taking to this new Office suite, i suppose it is creative and it will get people talking about it, just like i am

On there new site you can sign up for the technical preview, it is invite only so even if you apply you might not get accepted. I signed up, hopefully i get accepted Also they have set up a twitter page for the new office 2010. Anyway go have a look at ‘The beginning of awesome’ on the official office ‘movie’ site.

Apparently the new office 2010 technical preview has been leaked onto torrent sites already! go over to SiliconRepublic for more on that.
