    Hmm… this *could* be interesting, but is it an e-book when it is only available in .doc format ?

    Why not make it available in PDF as well, so that people *without* Office and Word could learn about what’s new (and maybe consider purchasing it) ?

    Thanks for posting this info Martin. I work for M80 (a social media marketing firm) and we were recently hired by Microsoft to promote Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010. While on this campaign I’ve found that those who understand the new features and functionality are likely to find value in the products and this doc has it all.
