New update on PowerPoint Heaven. Added a Spinning Globe Showcase which can be found in the Animations page under Showcase category. This is a showcase featuring a spinning globe (Earth). All graphics and animations are created using PowerPoint, with the exception of the World Map image. This showcase also contains a semi tutorial which shows you some globe shading techniques and explains how a spinning globe effect can be achieved.

Have a look at Microsoft's site on Microsoft Office 2007. It includes the improvements and facts on Office 2007. The most interesting section which I like, is actually "The Films". Check this out: http://www.microsoft.com/office/newday/default.mspx
