Well, that's interesting. Robert Scoble, in an excited post about how the news was broken that Office 12 will have native PDF support linked to my post here and this post also had some other surprising info. Here's his post:
Daniel Larson notes that the big news about Office 12's PDF support isn't necessarily the news itself: it's how the news was broken. They released the news to MVPs who then broke it, got picked up by PC World. Microsoft employees later blogged it (which is where I first saw the news).
I love that news is being broken through the grass roots. Memeorandum has the news already, by the way.
Warner Crocker, MVP on the Tablet PC team, for instance, has links to more blogs about this, including Chris Pratley's blog (he's PM on the Word and OneNote teams) who says OneNote 12 will support PDF creation.
Now, it is true that I have been nominated for MVP status, an honor in and of itself, but to my knowledge the result of that nomination is up in the air. I sent an email to Robert and he kindly responded that he had just made an assumption since I write so much about Tablet PCs. No harm, no foul, but fun.
