4.5.2006 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.

WinInfo: Week of December 12
The man who just 'knows' has spoken out on the December CTP build & possible dates of delivery. Testers were sadly disappointed last month when Microsoft failed to deliver the November CTP build (that would of been 5259) touting that it had 'issues' and it was probably better to wait for a 'better more feature complete version' in December. According to Thurrott the December build won't be the feature complete build all testers were hoping for, almost, but not quite. Whatever that means. Oh, and heres 2 short takes from Wininfo for your enjoyment.

18.11.2005 Office 12 to Feature 'Super Tooltips'
Tooltips, those little yellow popup boxes that provide information on a button or menu option, have become an indispensable part of the modern user interface. Now, Microsoft is looking to extend their usefulness by introducing what it calls "Super Tooltips" in the upcoming release of Office 12.
The next-generation Office suite from Microsoft is already slated to bring a major UI makeover. Standard toolbars have been replaced with task-oriented "Ribbons" that include features pertinent to the current job. But such a change will require a learning curve, which is where the new larger tooltips come in.

13.8.2007 Native PDF support in Office Vista (12)
Today's another exciting day as we move closer to Beta 1. We are just wrapping up the MVP summit here in Redmond and we've finally announced another piece of functionality I've wanted to talk about for a long time now. This afternoon Steven Sinofsky announced to our MVPs that we will build in native support for the PDF format in Office "12".
I constantly get asked by customers if we can build in this support for publishing documents as PDF files, and now I can thankfully say "yes!" It's something we've been hearing about for years, and earlier in this project we decided that while there were already existing third party tools for doing this, we should do the work to build the functionality natively into the product.

New UI Font Coming to Vista, Office 12
With the release of a new user interface in Windows Vista and Office 12, Microsoft will also update the font that both products use for the first time in eight years. The company says the new font is designed to take advantage of ClearType, and is more modern than its predecessors.
Dubbed "Segoe UI," the font is more humanistic and less computer-like than it's predecessor, Tahoma. Microsoft also relied on a decade of research from its Typography unit on making fonts easier to read and scan on screen.

9.12.2005Google adds More Shortcuts to Gmail, trick to check them all
Everyone loves things that save them time. Seeing the success of the current shortcuts, Google has decided to add even more Gmail shortcuts to its
email service - the only problem now is remembering them all. Never fear! Google has also added a help key for shortcuts: “?”. Whenever
you are logged in, simply hold shift and hit the forward slash button on your keyboard to bring up the shortcut reference menu. Then, click anywhere
in Gmail off of the menu to close it. The feature is only available in the latest version of Gmail, which only works for English IE7 and Firefox 2.
Sorry Opera users, you got shafted again! If you have them off, enable shortcuts in Settings ("?" is a shortcut itself).

18.10.2005iTech Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard Review
For years now I've been using the same keyboard at home, a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard. It's not a bad board, thought it has
seen better days. While looking around for a replacement I came across what appears to be the Keyboard of the Future! Not only is it small, compact
and connects via Bluetooth, but it has no physical keys! This "keyboard" is actually a laser projection that will display a "virtual" keyboard on
any flat surface.
The "geek" part of me instantly decided this would be the best keyboard ever, but the logical part of me had some
hesitations. How well would it work? Would it be able to handle a very fast typing speed with accuracy? Would it be comfortable to use? Well, thanks
to our good friends at
ThinkGeek, I was able to get a hold of one of these devices to try
out and give you all a taste of what it's like to live in the future of computing.
