Hands-On Preview of Microsoft Office 2010 291

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday July 13, 2009 @12:48PM from the fighting-for-relevance dept.

Barence writes "Microsoft has announced full details of Office 2010 and its plans for an accompanying suite of online applications, and PC Pro has been given special access to a technical preview. Contributing Editor Simon Jones gives his initial verdict on the new suite, concluding that there's 'still a long way to go in terms of fit and finish ... but overall Microsoft has made good strides in increasing usability, cohesiveness and collaboration.' This is followed by detailed first looks at Word 2010, Excel 2010, Outlook 2010 and PowerPoint 2010, with Outlook certainly looking to be the greatest beneficiary. And finally, a gallery of screenshots shows off all the new interface touches in Office 2010, including Outlook's conversation view, Word's picture-editing function and the new cut-and-paste preview option."

Can't be much fun having a collapsing nuclear power next door.

I don't know. Would any Canadians like to comment?

Sure... I didn't know that our southern neighbours were having that much trouble. :)

Is the open source community recession proof? Or at the very least, are some of the major distributions such as Ubuntu going to feel the effects?

I can't tell you what province or city but I can tell you that Staples is known for this also. As an insider I know that our tech services mostly come from "in store setups"... An $80.00 charge for 1 hours worth of work that the customer could have done for free. I am not defending such actions but you have to keep in mind that a lot of customers aren't comfortable with Vista and have no idea how to use it let alone make recovery discs or setup a printer.
