If you haven’t yet seen a glimpse of the new Office suite for Mac, now’s your chance. Microsoft launched a site devoted to the productivity suite that provides some high-level descriptions of the new UI and functionality. As a former Entourage end-user, the new My Day feature looks quite handy. It’s almost like a schedule gadget that floats independently, but of course is tied to your Entourage calendar. Actually, since this is for Mac OS X, I guess that makes it more like a widget. ;)
If you watch some of the video demos, you can see an Office Ribbon influence; on many screens, there are various menu options floating above the document but below the standard menu interface.
