96975 2002-11-07 20:14:00 I've been playing around with Office 2003 beta, and I especially like the look of Outlook 2003. Take a look here.

One thing I particularly like is the ability to minimise to the system tray, so it stays open, but out of the way. Haven't really found much else I like so far in the rest of office (apart from maybe the split code/design view in Frontpage).

Not due for release until probably mid next year maybe? I'm not sure. It hasn't even made it to Release Candidate status yet I don't think.

96980 2002-11-07 21:02:00 Looks very smooth ..... pity about the ugly black smears, guess the ink is slow to dry ]:)

The webpage loaded instantly for me too - 56K

BTW - do you do a lot of beta testing for Microsoft? What other goodies are lined up for the future?

Yes, well... :)

Only a couple of things so far, but hopefully more as time goes on. I've put my name down on heaps of things this year, and been accepted for a few (not just Microsoft).

>>> What other goodies are lined up for the future?

I'm not sure... but I'm waiting for the beta signup for Longhorn, the next version of Windows :D
