2007 was an eventful year for Microsoft, with the company playing what it considered to be its trump card (only to discover Vista wasn't trumps, XP was).

For years, Microsoft has been trying to add features to Office without them getting in the way of people who already know their way around the software.
With the next version of Office, Microsoft is trying to help inspire smarter cubicle dwellers.
Microsoft late Wednesday released the first test version of Office 12, the next incarnation of its ubiquitous desktop suite.
