Microsoft Office 12 Beta 1: Extreme Makeover PREVIEW DATE: 11.16.05
When Office 12 arrives sometime in the second half of 2006, you may stop hating Microsoft Office. We looked at an early, private beta version of the suite and found a lot of improvements. Although the interface is radically changed, a lot of the underlying features and commands remain the same.
We won't promise using Office 12 will be trouble-free, but so far it looks like a big step forward. (Editors' Note: "Office 12" is just a codename. The product will most likely be renamed before it ships.)
The newer version has lots of enhancements to the way we use Office
As Google starts to dominate its web services and solutions, Microsoft doesn't want to be left behind and has come up with a plan to wipe atleast hmm compete in this new space....
Microsoft's recently launched new web based service/portal to compete Google and Yahoo and it is called "Windows Live" ....
www.Live.com I liked the Live Favorites feature it allows me to add all my favorites or import from my machine and carry along whereever I go and log on ... Yet to beta test other features like MSN and other cool stuff ...
Office Live and Windows Live represent Microsoft's next-gen platform strategy - Gartner
Windows Live is an advertising-supported service that lets users customize their own home pages with search content, RSS feeds, workspaces, applications and a new AJAX-based e-mail system called Live Mail; and Live Messenger, an updated version of Microsoft?s MSN Messenger. The free service is not designed to replace the Redmond, Wash.-based company?s MSN.com, which will continue to feature programmed content.
This is a serious contender so watch out guys here comes the monster ....
