Speaking of
new looks, Microsoft's design site (which I didn't even know existed) has a page on some of the new design elements in Office 2007. We've heard plenty about
the ribbon, of course, but the site also goes over Office 2007's three themes (sky blue, OS X silver, and Vader black), as well as the new application icons that are coming soon to a desktop near you. Office 2007's new aesthetic is certainly striking and will no doubt serve Microsoft well in catching eyes. But I'm still not sold on that odd circle menu, and chrome and gradients are nothing new. I'm almost surprised that they didn't throw in a little
wet floor effect just for good measure.

I don't get it -- the open beta for Office 2007 has been out quite a long time. Why is this "new" news? :|
