"Create Mobile Office Device. You'll be able to do something to take Office with you on a USB memory device. For some reason"

Sounds like a damn good idea to me - a mobile runtime that can load and print (perhaps) without installing? I would be sold if that's what it is - and assuming it works on XP onwards. I often have to work with machines preloaded with older Office versions, and it's a pain having to either PDF them or convert to older formats (which kills new features).

"Create Mobile Office Device. You'll be able to do something to take Office with you on a USB memory device. For some reason."

Sounds like a facility for making a 'portable' Office, which would be darn convenient if that's the case. You can access the cloud from anywhere, so might it be more natural to perhaps enable some sort of functionality for accessing your desktop software from anywhere as well?

The Office 2007 feature matrix is indeed odd (perhaps more so than Vista's).  OneNote in bottom product and top product but not others seems very strange.  Rationalization would be good.

Anytime updates might mean no need for freestanding Outlook SKU (or not--not sure).

Now who keeps saying that Microsoft doesn't innovate? I have not seen mobile version of any office suite on USB devices.  That sounds pretty damn innovative to me. So much for the false label of mediocre and copy artists. Another argument lost by the fanatics.

"I have not seen mobile version of any office suite on USB devices."

Open Office has had a portable version for years.

They announced the Office Online apps on Office Live Workspace a while back.  They have screenshots which look identical to the previously-leaked ones.  They say that they are available in a number of languages already.  Not a lot of advanced options, but overall, pretty decent.  Might be a good option for home users that share data, especially considering that Workspaces is like a "Windows Sharepoint Services Lite" document collaboration and storage system.  The Office Live plugin for offline versions of Office is extremely easy to use too.

Yay! More product versions! M$ want YOUR money!

Please make it as fast as Office 2003.  Office 2007 is a bloated, slow pig, 2008 is even worse.  I am glad my company is sticking with 2003 for the time being.

No one's noticed because people don't care. They only care about companies like Apple and Google, interesting things.

Office Mondo could be the name for either the portable version or an online version, as mondo means 'world' in Italian.

A consumer version would be great; the Student edition is almost there, but not quiet, as the license is restricted.  

"I have not seen mobile version of any office suite on USB devices."

It's expensive, but we use ThinApp for just that purpose. The entire Office 2007 suite (sans two helper apps, iirc) can be kept on an appropriately-sized USB stick and launched portably using it. It's pretty darn convenient.

Of course, the only downside is that ThinApp is not yet Win7-compatible...

Noticed it long ago Paul:

Also, Mondo was used for Office 12 as well:
