Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview On Youtube
Posted on 21 May 2009 by officeadmin
Inevitably, there are now some demo videos of the Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview On Youtube.
Office 2010 First Look
This video of the technical preview is from bonny Scotland and is a little slow to get into, but if you bear with it there are the briefest of glimpses of Word 2010, Excel 2010 and Powerpoint 2010. The presenter merely opens these Office applications; he doesn’t actually do any tasks with them.
Microsoft Office 2010 (Office 14) Techical Preview
The mute button is a handy tool. Take note of this before you play this video. At least the presenter of this video uses the applications in Office 2010, but zooms and pans are sadly missing so it’s hard to see what exactly is going on here. The resolution of their monitor is so high that it makes the video virtually useless. You can’t read most words and the icons are hard to make out. I wonder if they realise that. I suspect that more time was spent on choosing the soundtrack than considering the audience.

Ahhhh. My ears.

You know, I think I’ve seen enough of these videos. After a while they all look the same. What we need is a video that actually imparts some useful information, a video that gives something more than the look and feel of Microsoft Office 2010 whilst at the same time demonstrating the presenter’s individuality by playing their favourite, insipid music over it. Leave it with me.

Nothing beneficial for most businesses – no reason to upgrade/purchase –
Like Vista – all bling – no function.
If they wanted to improve Office they SHOULD have -
1. Made outlook open multiple e-mail accounts as full exchange -not an additional mailbox with some functionality or pop/imap with very limited functionality but two seperate exchange profiles simultaneously from multiple exchange servers.
2. Full OLE support for pictures in access – umm wasn’t that functional with Office XP – why take that out? Why should someone have to code to add pictures to a personal database? Might was well use oracle or a real database if you are going to have to use code. Adding Office XP photo editor is the work around but why not just add photo editor back into office if that is the solution?
3. Offer the old menu bar for people (most of my clients) who don’t want to learn the new menu bar. You can finally modify the ribbon to some extent in 2010 however my clients just want their old ribbon bar. Frankly I have no issue with the new menu bar but I’m one person and most of my clients don’t like it so prefer to stick with office 2003. MS could make money selling the new version if they just offered the old menu as a choice with the new ribbon.

If Office 2010 retains the 2007 “RIBBON interface, we require the OLD” CLASSIC” option in full, if this is NOT and option then we will NOT be going 2010.
We use Office 2003 PRO (Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, Access, Publisher, Frontpage)and would require these as S/Alone Office or 5 user.
I will NOT download a Beta version have sent time with Office 2007 in an effoert to evaluate and that was a waste of time, also WIN7 2 months eval and as we could NOT get the “CLASSIC” working have declined to use. We are using XP and VISTA and here we will be staying

Yes, hear, hear. The Classic version is visually ergonomically better than the Windows 7 and its contemporary friends, i.e. without all the unnecessary and space-consuming icons that clutter the screen up. Windows Explorer suffers particularly: the Classic version is neat and clear and, not having to cope with icons and borders and dividers and goodness knows what else, gets more information on to the screen – that is, useful information. A lean display is much faster to work with than is one with a whole lot of unnecessary visual and text material.
Search, too seems to have lost out, having apparently done away with the index, so that the system appears to be designed to guess what it is that you’re trying to find information about, rather than letting you tell it what you’re looking for. Now it may well be that searching via the index is available, but that I just haven’t found it yet, but the impression that I get is that Search is intended to find files (or something in them) – which can be appropriate at times – but it isn’t good at finding out HOW to do, say, some particular operation, or to find how some particular feature works.
