2007 Microsoft Office system beta by MeEtc on 06-28-2006 at 06:51 PM
I just got an e-mail from M$ asking to do a 'test drive' for 2007 Microsoft Office system beta today.
First of all, is there a difference between Office and Office System?
wait a sec, NVM quote: Originally posted by Microsoft
What is the 2007 Microsoft Office system?The Microsoft Office system has evolved from a suite of personal productivity products to a more comprehensive and integrated system. Building on the familiar tools that many people already know, the Microsoft Office system includes programs, servers, services, and solutions designed to work together to help address a broad array of business problems.
At the core of the Microsoft Office system are the Microsoft Office suites, which deliver the core desktop productivity tools. New features in these programs enhance how employees can work with one another, partners, and customers, and how organizations capture and use information. In addition to the core desktop editions, the 2007 release includes new programs, servers, and services that build on the productivity software skills your employees already possess.
Used together, the Microsoft Office system can help you address business needs ranging from personal productivity management to complex project management.
Personally, I won't be trying it because the core Office 2007 installer crashes every time I run it (maybe becausse I only have 234MB available RAM, Office says ya need 256...)
Anyone else get the e-mail, and going to try it out?
