Microsoft has
released a first beta of its Office 12 productivity suite to a selected group of
10,000 customers and partners. The final version of the application is expected
in the second half of 2006.
The suite's main new feature is a user interface that Microsoft chairman Bill
Gates unveiled last September at the Professional
Developer Conference in Los Angeles.
The interface is designed to change with the current task being performed,
which Microsoft expects will better inform users of the available features.
Internal Microsoft research had shown that the features most requested by
users were already available in the software but were difficult to find.
A second beta of the application will be made available to a wider group of
testers in Spring 2006. The vendor is inviting interested parties to
sign
up online.
