It seems unlikely that Aero will be a killer enhancement for Word/Excel but the new heap API has an impact on both. And of course for Tablet users the new Office Vista enhancements have serious benefits.

I just wish they had a Vista version of MS Reader, no major desires, just one that could be activated on Vista so the DRM worked again would be nice, sigh…
