I downloaded the latest Beta of Microsoft Office 2007 today.
I must say that I do like the new interface a lot. I know a lot of people have been complaining about it, but it actually looks a lot cleaner than in the Office 2003 one.
The only issue I have at the moment is rather a lack of support for blog posting. Their new “blogging” interface looks pretty darn awesome, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get it to work with my install of b2evolution (though, I’ll admit, my version of b2evo is kind of old – maybe a newer version works?)
Kind of a shame, cause I’d really like to be able to blog directly from Word! Oh well, maybe in the final release. Actually, one thing I’d like to be able to do in the meantime, but I wasn’t able to figure out – if I could just cut’n’paste the XHTML it generates from the blog tool, at least I could cut’n’paste it into my blog’s normal input box. I wonder if that’s possible?
Anyway, I haven’t played around with it that much (just checked that I could read emails from Outlook and write stuff with Word, so I guess we’ll see how the rest of it goes!
