Did we watch the same video? Apple makes much more usable and sane UIs than the jumbled, awkward-looking (but pretty) ones depicted in the Microsoft Productivity Future 2011.

Well, I was referring to the architecture. But yeah, it's funny how Microsoft can't even conceive of a future without ugly layers of Excel spreadsheets and graphs, and powerpoint animations.

A while back, MS actually put together a cmpaign to help people make less crappy PP decks. http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint-slidefest/do-and-...

According to the last couple hundred presentations I saw in meetings, this campaign had very limited success.
