Yeah but the Office user interface is built around printers.

This reminds me of the minicomputer apps that ran on early PCs. Everyone that used minicomputers thought it was great. I couldn't figure it out. I think eventually they all switched to Word and dBASE or FileMaker and MacWrite. And then came PageMaker and blew out all the paradigms.

This seems like a band-aid to me.
