No, that's a set of photoshopped screenshots.

Hey, it worked for MS when they were trying to get folk interested in the Bill Box...

Wow, it's fake XP except even more fake derivative of the worst aspects of the MacOS. And fake at that.

yeah, looks just like XP to me

Which reminds me, that Office 11 (the new MS office) will only be compatible with WinXP. Not ONE other operating system besides that. Not even WinME.

WHAT?!?!

Although I dont much care, I'm still using Office 97, and Win98SE.

BTW, anyone else think Office XP is crap?

[Stunaep]

First one translated to estonian, so... no.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all MS Office programs specifically use file encoding that can't be read by previous versions?

Yes, but what is being said (I think) is that the PROGRAM it self will only run on XP, which is stupid MS bullS#!t.

I wouldnt put it past MS to do something like that, it seems they're always pushing for profit

Looks like styleXP combined with a little photoshop or possibly MSPaint

Microsoft took some heavy flak because Office 97 wasn't compatible with Office 95. They learned their lesson and AFAIK, it isn't like that anymore.
