Is this it?
Or just part of it.
Or some parallel stuff.
I don't know - you tell me:

Microsoft’s announcement today at its Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans about the new version of Microsoft’s Office 2010. There’s even a mini-movie about its debut. Facing potential challenges from the browser from Google’s Apps product and its new Chrome OS, Microsoft has been touting its three screens strategy, which is the ability for products to synchronize across the phone, browser, and desktop, for some time now. With the release of Office 2010, SharePoint Server 2010 and Visio 2010, we finally see implementation Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie’s mantra.

Doesn't seem quite right, but then we've all been disappointed before (what was Opera's ground breaking announcement again)?

I also think you're right, that's why I haven't already downloaded this leaked RTM build.

hoping its just cause it hasnt yet started tho.

I was reading somewhere that Balmer would take to the stage tomorrow? If so, then I reckon RTM announcements will be then...
