Microsoft’s new fluid office document is Google docs on steroids

I wish they would fix Outlook’s HTML rendering instead.

An awesome trend.

FYI: a nice fluffy intro vid [i] and a preview [ii]

Reminds me of object Linking and Embedding. Can’t recall if it was a MS thing or Mac OS just that it used to crash my Color Classic Macintosh way back when.

This looks really cool, and it's funny to think that this isn't a million miles away from the original promise of OLE.

I guess they expect the big money in being either the host of all that or the trusted point linking hosts and clients.

I'm not looking forward to the future where Microsoft knows when I read which email and puts content (and later ads).

Sounds kinda like the free form style in one note
