According to Jeff Raikes, president of Microsoft's business division, 'The 2007 Microsoft Office system RTM completes the most significant improvements to the products in more than a decade.' Microsoft praised the quantity and quality of the feedback from beta testers of the software suite. (See 'The Lowdown on Office 2007' for an in-depth review and visual tour of the suite's new interface.) It has been marked by controversy over a significantly revamped interface in many of the application's familiar menus and toolbars, which have been replaced with Ribbon, a colorful tabbed bar divided into groups of icons and buttons organized by task. Office 2007 includes a revamped user interface, greater support for non-English languages and more collaboration tools. The company did, however, announce a new service - SMS Link for Office Outlook 2007 - that lets Outlook 2007 users send and receive e-mail, contacts, appointments and tasks to mobile phones as SMS text messages.
