The Microsoft Office Fluent user interface demo and video

[MaryTN]

2 points: They need a "mute music" button. Also, the demo window needs to be
larger or allow maximizing. The colors are weak which makes it even harder
to see. Overall though, I think the new features of Office 2007 look like
fun.

Glad to see that someone has a lot of time on their hands

Actually, I do not have any extra time. I was hoping the demo and the video
would be enough to get me up to speed on the 2007 changes. The small
graphics were a hinderance. I wrote my original post on this site as a
suggestion to Microsoft in hopes that someone in the future might benefit
from an easier-to-view demo and video.

Seriously - the best thing to get you up to speed with Office 2007 is USAGE.
Videos, demos, etc are nice but nothing replaces hands-on experience.

Hi Mary,

Could you provide a link to the specific videos/demos that you're referring to please? There are a number of training, demo and
other Office 2007 related videos available throughout Microsoft's site, including these locations
http://officeonline.com/training
http://officelabs.com,
http://preview.microsoft.com/video/categories.aspx?category=products&subCategory=office (this site uses MS Silverlight)
and a bit of marketing approach
http://microsoft.com/office/newday

You might, as someone who sees that learning and work can also have some fun in them, pick up a useful trick or too and still enjoy
the learning (i.e. it's only software, how serious can it be <g>). Although not on Microsoft's site you might find that these
'Videojug - Life Explained. On Film' contributions to MS Office worthwhile for quick bytes.
