I bet the video creates tons of SMB and consumer sales. From what I understand, most of the money in Office (previously) has come from corporate site-licenses. This may change the nature of the game. I think (non-techie) small businesses have to have Quickbooks, WinXP, and "some office application" to survive. Now they will want Office 2007, just because of the time it saves them. I loved the one commenter on the Channel9 thread who tracked his reactions relative to the timestamp in the video. He starts out hostile, and ends up as a likely customer. Thanks for reading, and for the comment, Tom! Scott Yeah, me too. I bet the video creates tons of SMB and consumer sales.

I was skeptical, but you're right, that is extraordinarily compelling, and firmly moves me into the "gotta have the upgrade" camp. What do you think the ROI on that video is? $500MM? Talk about time well-spent for a group of UX designers and program managers! -- Tom "until recently, happy Office 2000 user" Wilbur Wow.
