They've overdone the Play-School look, but I was at Microsoft's Reading
campus a couple of months ago and had a chance to play with one of the
internal builds of Office 12, and it's actually quite a nice interface
(aforementioned graphics aside). All the menus and toolbars are a lot more
task-/context-oriented, and it seems to make it easy to create some pretty
nice documents. I only really looked at Powerpoint 12 in any detail though.
One thing that they've not done -- and they've missed a trick here -- is
to use the new interface as an opportunity to push people towards styles.
