Available on El Reg for those who care.
I really like the new look - no mungy gradients, no pastel colours obscuring everything into a blur of grey. This looks like it's designed for work instead of trying to demonstrate how powerful ones graphics card is. For me, the epitome of a clean workspace is windows classic on XP, and the lack of messiness seems to be trying to recapture some of that. Not so keen on the way it wants to hook into everything in the cloud and social networks, nor the fact that it will probably create yet another proprietary document format, but that seems to be the price of using Microsoft stuff.
I wonder if there will be enough money in the corporate pot for a copy when it's released?
Wonder if it will run under WINE?
