   That's true.   
      
   I'm not quite sure what they are talking about in the press release   
   but how does 2010 differ from say 2003 wrt increasing productivity   
   of the users or office?   
      
   It seems to me that we have hit a wall wrt how many new features are   
   actually useful in real life vs nice proof of concept things that   
   look great in an advertisement but whose effect on productivity   
   could be dubious at best.
