Microsoft Releases Microsoft Office System Beta 2

Microsoft Releases Microsoft Office System Beta 2 Some initial impressions, after installing beta 2:
1. I just retired Outlook Express -- Outlook 2003 is finally a better user experience, even for POP3 and Hotmail
2. The myriad subtle UI changes are very effective
3. The new Research task pane is pretty cool -- but I'm also going to continue using GuruNet (aka Atomica)
4. Shared Workspaces are very compelling
