Well, my Tablet PC couldn’t be happier – I’m downloading the RTM versions of Office Professional 2007 and OneNote 2007 via MSDN right now. This is only available to those who have an MSDN subscription, which is a lot of folks! Vista is not available as of this writing, but I’m continuing to check. UPDATE: You do [...]
If you have been following any of the developments for Office 2007 (no small ‘s’ here) you know that Jensen Harris of Microsoft has been blogging up a storm on any and all topics that relate to the more than significant UI changes that are offered in the new suite. In fact he says he’s published [...]
Much appreciation to Lora Heiny for letting us know that Vista RTM and Office 2007 RTM will be available for download on MSDN within the next week. I’m expecting to hear constant F5 refreshes throughout the internet over the next couple of days. Many of them will be from me! Except for doing some Camtasia [...]
Via Microsoft Microsoft Office 2007 (no, I’m still not using the silly name with the small ‘s’) went gold with a release to manufacturing today. From the release: Microsoft Corp. today announced the completion of the 2007 Microsoft® Office system code and confirmed its release to manufacturing (RTM). This gold code milestone concludes the largest [...]
Oh my goodness. Techmeme is alive with news that Microsoft has released some pictures of… wait for it…. the packaging of Vista and Office 2007. Everyone is excited. Everyone is posting. Everyone is….. hang on. I know things are heating up with RTM presumably just around the corner, but getting this excited about a product [...]
Lots of talk around the Internet that there is one more build of Vista before it goes RTM (release to manufacturing.) And then there’s this little website promising something on November 9. I wonder what that could be?
I’ve been off again/on again with Office 2007 (no, I’m still not using that silly new name with the small ‘s’) simply because earlier builds seemed to cause more problems than they were worth for me on my Toshiba M200 Tablet PC. I use the M200 as my main computer, or as some call it production [...]
One feature that was added in the Outlook 2007 TR today that will greatly benefit me and my chicken scratch… guide lines while inking an e-mail!! While I feel they look a little too faint (maybe it is just my screen), this is a welcome addition. I know it won’t help my penman ship, but [...]
How would you like to edit your mindmap in Microsoft Word? Well, with a new add-in for Word 2007 you can. The new innovation allows you to embed a MindMap in Word 2007 and do the following: Allow users to use Microsoft Office Word 2007 to edit the document. Allow users to view and modify [...]
I just installed the Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh and now see a nice collection of new icons. Pretty nice looking. Overall, I have to say that Office 2007 Beta 2 with the Technical Refresh is running snappier than the previous release. Applications are loading and responding much quicker, and this on a machine [...]
Once upon a time there was much rejoicing in the land, as early plans for Microsoft’s next version of Office (that was in the day before the small ‘s’) would include a feature that would allow documents to be saved natively as a PDF file. Then, word came down from on high that this was [...]
According to Jensen Harris – Office 2007 TR is going to be available tomorrow!! Great for me (and I am sure lots of others), I’m on a Vista only install trying to get past all the bugs running Beta 2. Major points of improvements: Improved support for the minimized Ribbon Visual redesign of the “Northwest” [...]
Lots of good discussion in the Tabletscape about working with a small screen, led by Craig Pringle’s excellent series revealing some neat tips to maximize screen real estate when you’re working with minimum screen real estate. One item Craig mentioned and Josh Einstein also pointed me to today, is the Minimized Ribbon feature in Office [...]
File this one away as a handy reference. If you’ve been using the Office 2007 Beta (no, I won’t use that ridiculous new name) or reading about it, you know that the UI has changed dramatically. If you’re worried about how to find your most used commands on the new ribbon, take a look at [...]
Uh oh. Looks like Microsoft will be delaying 2007 Microsoft Office system (I still can’t believe that name change, is e.e. cummings working for Microsoft now?) until “early 2007.” In March the announcement of the delays of Vista and Office met with howls of derision and urgings of calm, especially given the confusing language of [...]
Outlook 2007 beta 2 is much better than previous builds I’ve tested. I’ve been putting the To Do section through its’ paces today and I have to tell you it is becoming my favorite new feature. What I really like is that I can flag emails as “To Do” items and they show up with [...]
So, you are among the many who have been waiting patiently to beta test Office 2007. Well, your wait is over. Microsoft has officially released Office 2007 beta 2 and made it available to the public. You’ll love the new UI and the wonderful improvements in OneNote 2007. I have not checked yet, but I think [...]
I was just reading the comments on Chris Pratley’s blog regarding the blogging feature being built-in to Word 2007 and OneNote 2007. In my post about this feature, I wondered out loud about creating a blog entry using ink. Well, Chris answered the question in his comments: A couple of people have asked what happens [...]
Chris Pratley has let the good news spill out about a new feature in OneNote 2007 – posting a blog entry from OneNote 2007 . Over on the Word blog Joe Friend has broken the news about the new blogging support we’ve added to Word 2007. I’m happy to say that OneNote 2007 is also going [...]
Loren points us to Tipx, a specialized TIP for Excel. I have not tried it out, but it certainly looks better then the standard TIP when used in Excel. From the InkEnable website: Sheet view for direct writing into cells. Cell view for more sophisticated editing of individual cell content. Supports optimized handwriting recognition for numeric, [...]

– An new Podcast (#17) from OnTheRun is up! Have you ever listened to the these guys do a podcast? If not, then you are really missing something. It’s something like a low key Jazz radio show meets a techno news show, and the result is a laid back and relaxed discussion of good things [...]

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company
As exciting as it has been to talk, postulate, and speculate about the Galaxy S III’s hardware and specs before the third-generation Galaxy flagship smartphone was announced on May 3rd in London, once the device was announced one thing became apparent: Samsung is now a software company. That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
Autumn Dynasty Review: A Great RTS for the iPad
With its large touchscreen, the iPad seems like the perfect platform for Real Time Strategy games, and Autumn Dynasty proves it, mostly. Autumn Dynasty is an RTS iPad game with art that looks like tradition Chinese painting. The story involves quelling a rebellion while solving a mystery of shady noblemen. The story though, just serves [...]
