The 2nd part of the Office NGO Shockwave animation talks about the subscription options Microsoft may offer for the next version of Office.
I wouldn't draw conclusions with just this little Shockwave animation. It's not certain that it is genuine, although judging by Microsoft's requests to Web sites to take down the animation, it would appear to rate some sort of "authority seal". This animation doesn't discuss any Office application (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, or Access) features at all. It's just an overview of the online services and subscription possibilities.
There are some people who believe it all to be a fake (I can't imagine why Microsoft would ask Web site publishers to take down the shockwave animation if it were a fake...), and if it is, then I'd just say that it's a pretty elaborate one. We'll see what we find in Office .NET.
