I nearly thought of a name for the new office due out nex year.

Microsoft Office Vista

to suit the new wndows. I had to scrap it because the new office will work on Windows XP so darn. Maybe Office Vista with a sticker "for Windows Vista, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional and Windows Media Center Edition". i don't know maybe some else may think of something.

they did it with Microsoft Office XP. Well it sounded better than to bring it out as Microsoft Office 2006 and certainly better than Office 12 it's only ofice 12 because of the folder itself has changed as the versions changed 10, 11, now 12, 'm sure nearly everyone knows that.

They should have used some weird name like many other things thhey name. Here are my opinions:

Microsoft Office MSC
Microsoft Office KP
Microsoft Office Mecant

eh something weird, like they always do (ie: vista)
Izzy
very true like the codenames ie: longhorn.
Albert Frankenstein
Microsoft Office EX

EX = Expensive

Yes that would suit them very well. Or

Microsoft Office US (UnStable)
Microsoft Office RS (really sucks)
Microsoft Office NWI (Not Worth It)
Microsoft Office P2M (Pay 2 Much!)
Microsoft Office SS (Sh*tt* software)

the software ain't S%&^, it's just that because it's MICROSOFT name on it we have to suffer the price from $500 up for a suit. But if you buy a new computer you can grab an OEM version with it which you can save like $100 because the box must be exspensive too.

Yea your right, but to me its $h!77y unless they finally make it backwards compatible with its predecessors.
