Well, first up the editors are being renamed for the launch, to "IBM Lotus Documents". Good call.

This is interesting - the status bar changes completely to reflect he active editor. I wonder if that's programmable from Eclipse? Did I say that the editors are provisionable and policy driven? Good stuff, that.

Embedded OLE object editing works using the editors, which is good. Tagging sounds cool. Popping up context sensitive menus such as customer ID's, in a documents, pulled from a backend source. That's quite cool.

the productivity editors have support for 100's of formulas in Spreadsheets.


This is sweet - and Powerpoint can't do this!!! In Presentation, you write the agenda page, then click on "Expand Slides" and it auto-creates all your content slides from each entry on the agenda. Nice.

It's good to see that the editor functionality in Notes is getting some real development effort. Lots of new stuff over and above OpenOffice and soem real thought.
