AppleInsider picks out the really important stuff in the upcoming Office 2008 for the Mac:
However, Microsoft did finally get the floppy disk icon right. Previous versions of Office on both the Mac and Windows depicted the floppy disk with the metal shield backwards from how a real floppy looked, with no hole in the shield and an extra hole in the disk. That wouldn’t actually work, of course. Over the last 12 versions of Office, nobody at Microsoft ever actually stopped to consider what a floppy disk really looked like, it just kept reusing the same odd icon.
Microsoft’s erroneous floppy icon also has no “HD” hole, indicating it only has a 720k capacity and dates from the 80s; it does have a copy protect hole. (The correct but stylized new Mac floppy depicts no holes.) Even this year’s Vista version of Office has the same incorrect floppy disk icon. It is amusing that the MacBU fixed this error for Mac users in 2008, ten years after Steve Jobs yanked the floppy out of the iMac and stomped it out of existence.
Even slightly more ironic is the fact that Word 2004 used a Zip drive icon, which at least some PowerMacs prior to the G5 in 2003 offered as an option. Four years later, the MacBU has reverted to the floppy disk, either to atone for Microsoft’s decades of error or as a nostalgic nod to saving documents in the era Word originally sprang from.
