Saw this at the helpdesk BETT show a couple of months ago. Pretty cool stuff.

I had a mess about with the first generation one when I was in Redmond a while back. It was a great idea but very badly executed. I wonder if the second generation is any better.

I think MS generally produce well executed applications, certainly the best at covering multiple things in one, perhaps a jack of all trades, master of none, but for the most part, their usability in their applications as a whole comes way ahead of anything else for me.

Office 2008 is actually quite good. Not quite as nice to use as Office 2004 but still overall a good product.

Vista and Works I'll definitely agree with you though.
