How to Share Large File on The Web Using MegaUpload

The following tutorial will explain you how to share a large file on the web between you and your friend or anyone else. I'm choosing MegaUpload as an example here - not for any particular reason - but later, I might write more tutorial for other large file sharing service, such as YouSendIt and RapidShare.

One of the most advantage of using MegaUpload, compare with other similar service, is the duration how long your file(s) will be kept in their server. Your uploaded files will be deleted only after it become unused for 30 days. So, if many of your friends download it, over and over again, the files will always be there. The size is quite big, up to 250MB. Not as big as YouSendIt which allow up to 1GB file size, but it's more than enough to share your music files, movies, etc.

Market Share Smackdown: Linux 85.4% vs. Windows 1%

No, Linux 85.4% vs. Windows 1% is not a typo, neither the result of erroneous information. The fact is that there is a context where the open source operating system holds the lion's king of the market while Microsoft's proprietary platform is not the only dominant OS, but is reduced to a bottom feeder in terms of its install base.

My Office 12 Review

A few weeks ago the Microsoft Office team worked hard to get Beta 1 out of the door to beta testers via Microsoft Beta. This build was quite successful in all products of Office.

Unfortunately, Microsoft Office ?12? does not come with a new product but the same products that have many changes will keep testers busy until Beta 2! During the Beta phase of Office 2003, Code-named ?Office 11? and referred to as NGO (Next Generation of Office), brought new applications to the table. These applications were InfoPath and OneNote.

New Office 2010 build leaks

A new build of Office 2010 has surfaced around the web, identifying itself as "Microsoft Office 2010 Build 4417". The build is not a huge difference but offers small improvements and more stability over the previously leaked Mondo builds which were plauged with problems. The most notable new feature is that Back-Stage view has been altered and enhanced alot more and looks like it's almost finished. There's a new upload center to store and share documents online - perhaps through live mesh - or it could be the Office Web Applications/Office Live Workspaces.

Office Trial Causes Channel Conflict

Microsoft's Office Trial conversion program is so successful, the company now clearly competes with its retail and dealer partners.



The signs were there in February, when we said the Office Trial program "could" cause channel conflict. There's no more "could" about it.



Microsoft now has 9 percent dollar share for the U.S. retail productivity suite market, according to NPD. Chris Swenson, NPD's director of software industry analysis, largely attributed Microsoft's market share gains to Office Trial conversions.



Microsoft offers the trials through a number of venues, including direct from the Web or on new PCs. Microsoft also directly fulfills Office conversions. Users can purchase activation codes directly from Microsoft via the Web.

Web Office Defined - How it's Evolved From 2005 to Present

This is Web Office Week here at Read/WriteWeb, but some of you may not be 100% sure what a Web Office is. Even the Wikipedia definition is a bit bare bones, so in this post I'm going to take a crack at defining 'Web Office'. What I ended up with is this:



A Web Office suite is a combination of productivity, publishing and collaboration features. A Web Office both embraces the functionality of desktop office suites (e.g. Microsoft Office) and extends it by using Web Native features.



But let's start at the beginning. Wikipedia currently states that a Web Office "is a set of applications hosted on a server that enable users to create, edit and share information. It is a derivative of the Desktop Office Suite, but has more collaboration capabilities due to its Web nature."

Microsoft Holding Its Ground on Office for Linux

Some prominent figures in the Linux community believe that as enterprises increase their use of Linux on the desktop, Microsoft Corp. will be forced to consider offering a version of Office for Linux???or at least make its software more interoperable with open-source desktop productivity suites.

" When the [Linux desktop] market share gets to a certain point, Microsoft will, just as it did with Apple [Computer Inc.] in the past, make Office available on Linux," Open Source Development Labs Inc. CEO Stuart Cohen told eWEEK in a recent interview.

"I'm sure they have done the work and that they know what the market numbers need to be for that to be financially viable for them. I really think that when enough of their enterprise customers' office workers, help centers, IT and engineering departments are running Linux on the desktop and interoperability really becomes an issue, they will go and listen to their customers," he said, acknowledging that he has no evidence of any willingness on Microsoft's part to allow Office to run on top of Linux...

Microsoft Confirms Office Ultimate SKU

Microsoft is confirming that there is, indeed, a Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 SKU in the works. A company spokeswoman provided us with the following statement when we asked about Office Ultimate: "Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 will be a new package offered in retail and OEM channels at general availability. It will give people working at home access to the full line-up of 2007 Microsoft Office applications so they can create, find, manage and share information across boundaries using the toolset they're familiar with at the office."

Announcing Service Pack 2 (SP2) for the 2007 Microsoft Office System

Office Service Pack Team: Were pleased to announce that Service Pack 2 (SP2) for the 2007 Microsoft Office system is expected to be released in the near future. Although we arent yet announcing the exact release date, it will fall between February and April of 2009.



Historically, we have waited to communicate details about service packs until their release (or very shortly before). As we communicated with SP3 for Office 2003 and SP1 for the 2007 Office System, we will be taking steps to increase transparency and visibility into the Office servicing model at the request of our customers. To that end, we would like to start sharing some details into what will be included in SP2 for the 2007 Office system. This is by no means an exhaustive list of everything included in this service pack and we will share more details prior to the final release, but we want to start communicating to customers what they should be aware of at a high level.

Office 2008 for Mac Sneak Peek Kick-Off

At the beginning of August I told you that we'd start communicating more about Office 2008 in September. Well, it's September, and I am back here on Mac Mojo to kick-off the next wave of information on Office 2008.



We know that there are many Mac Mojo readers out there that need to start planning Office 2008 deployment in their organizations. As we start to share information, well focus on some information that will help you start thinking about your enterprise deployment alongside some deeper dives into some of the new features in Office 2008.



We have invested in Exchange support in Entourage for the past four years, and continue to do so in Office 2008. I think Entourage 2008 users in Exchange environments will find this the most reliable version to date - I have been living in daily builds of Entourage for over two months now, and I am delighted with the stability and reliability of our Exchange support and how well the calendar interoperates with my assistant, who uses Outlook.

Office Live Workspace Screenshots preview

On October 1, 2007, Microsoft announced pre-registration for the beta of Microsoft Office Live Workspace, the new web-based extension of Microsoft Office that will let people access documents anywhere, safely share and collaborate and work seamlessly with Microsoft Office.



Microsoft has received tremendous interest in this offering over the last couple of weeks and for the first time they are sharing screenshots of Microsoft Office Live Workspace to provide a sneak preview of what this offering may look like.



As a reminder, people can pre-register for the beta of Office Live Workspace by going to www.officelive.com. Microsoft Office Live Workspace will be available at no charge later this year.

Office Live Workspace (almost) brings Office 2007 online

Microsoft is stepping closer to providing anywhere-access of Office files. The free Office Live Workspace (more here), which lets people share work in Word, Excel and PowerPoint online, is expanding today to invite more beta testers.



You can sign up to try the work in progress at OfficeLive.com, although access may not be immediate. A final version is set for next spring.



When Office 2007 debuted nearly a year ago, it seemed curious that Microsoft offered no easy, one-click option for accessing work from the Web. Meanwhile, Zoho built an add-in for Office 2007, as Google Docs & Spreadsheets and other tools allowed people to share as well as compose work within a browser.

Office 14 to be named Microsoft Office System 2009?

Microsoft is currently developing the successor to Office 2007, Office codenamed "14". There has been little to no information on the upcoming Office version and many have speculated we might not see the product until 2010. Microsoft failed to provide any solid information at last years PDC, choosing to focus on its Office Live offerings. Eagled eyed Microsoft enthusiast and blogger Stephen Chapman has spotted what appears to be an internal software roadmap from Microsoft. The roadmap reveals a milestone of year end 2009 but the dates aren't very clear: In the roadmap you can see that Office 14 is clearly identified as Microsoft Office System 2009.
