The Office 12 system release has been formally named “Office 2007″ by Microsoft. I’m running Beta 1 software and it’s quite interesting and looks like some great changes. The new Outlook is terrific in design. I can’t say anything (per NDA) on the server side of things, but prepare to be wowed.

Anyhow, here is a list (from Microsoft) of the MS blogs that cover the Office 12 components. If you know of any others, please post them in the comments.
