Microsoft Office 11 Interface Guess
According to historical data, office this new version is really fast, maybe it is related to Microsoft.
As early as the beginning of the year, Microsoft SHOW was named office.net, and later renamed Office NGO (Next Generation Office), early September, and came from the Beta version of Office 11.

Interface guess, I have some of my own guess before I haven't got office 11:
Office's UI is always a super-microsoft other product line (including win), especially for some ease-to-see-useful typical controls, in subsequent Win versions, a large number of WIN versions, and gradually become a standard write development library, including personality Menu, file selection dialog, font selection box, controllable ListView head, freely customized toolbar, small assistant Msagent, etc. So watching Office can see the MS's UI tendency a little.
But this is a bit different. With the rise of the IE / Windowsxp style, the vector map of the vector map seems to change the monopoly position of Office. Microsoft interface tends to develop in terms of personalization, beauty, including the underlying major change of WinXP interface, the large number of IE controls, vector graphics, Flash's bold adoption, all product line unified programs have become more obvious.
This office11 is also absolutely WinXP compatible, including menus, toolbars, various controls, we see the Office clients will be closely compatible with WinXP, but at the same time, it will also be compatible with the THEME service or low version Windows. Interface style.
In terms of resources, and WinXP unified programs, through professional vector drawn, 32bit with shadow processing icons will be full of office11, even if this version is not done, I believe this is definitely a future trend.
It is absolutely web-based. It is not difficult to see in the demo, and the previous Outlook Web Access is more personalized. It is integrated with its MSN website, WindowXP help and other style, and a large number of DHTML achieves an extremely similar effect with traditional clients. (This part may only be implemented after enterprise users with Exchage).
Since this innovation focus is still a network, including collaborative office, intranet internal mailbox, instant messaging, OA, etc., as for other components Word, Excell, Access, PowerPoint, the interface may change much.
As the main source of Microsoft's profit, Office is definitely constantly innovative. In the UI, there will be some fresh controls, or more combination of combination.
Let us look forward to Gats to give us another surprise.
* Remember, this site is not specially envy of others, but strives to explore the strengths of others and constantly study. Only the length of finding and drawing others is likely to be innovative.
