I tried Office 2010 with the Technical Preview build. It had a nice layout and significantly better than Office07 – my favorite Office version so far.
Unfortunately the tech preview was littered with crashes especially Outlook. I had to revert back to 07 for now. Overall, I’m pretty excited to see this next year.
