    Just a quick question: has anyone seen what Office 2010 is going to look like? I know that it's suppose to have Outlook, but I haven't been able to find any legible screen shots or credible information on what the new program will contain or how it's different that 2008, etc. I don't know, maybe there's nothing out there except rumors, but I was just curious.

    thanks

    I don't think it will be called Office 2010. MS usually updates their Office suites every 4 years. They are just adding Outlook to the existing suite while finally dumping that worthless Entourage.

    Wikipedia's article on the suite is pretty useful. No mention of the Mac version other than that it will likely follow Office 2010 / "Office 14".

    Office 2010 is made by windows team. Office for Mac is made by another group of developers within MS. So the release of office 2010 shouldn't be any significance to Mac OSX users.

    I doubt Microsoft will call it Office 2010 because when Microsoft sold office suite for Leopard the Mac version was Office 2008 while Windows version was called Office 2007

    I would expect an Mac Office 2011/12 to be quite fair.
