Office 2007 (previously codenamed "Office 12") is the upcoming leading edition of Microsoft Workplace, and also the main upgrade ever before in this background of this office productivity suite.
Q: What exactly is Workplace 2007?
A: Office 2007 may be the subsequent main edition of Microsoft Workplace and also the successor to Office 2003.

Q: Why is it better than previous versions of Office?
A: For the first time at any time, Microsoft has dramatically changed the Office interface, replacing the standard menu-and-toolbar interface we've known since the earliest Windows applications with a new UI paradigm based on context-sensitive ribbons and tabs. I've written extensively about this new UI in various articles here on the SuperSite for Windows. For more information, please refer to my Inside Office 12 series (parts one and two).
