The Windows SuperSite which is ran by Paul Thurrott has screenshots of Microsoft Office 12 Beta 1. It has many different galleries: Installation, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, FrontPage, and OneNote. Microsoft Office 12 is going to be a very powerful application but will have a learning curve to it. I have already given my review on this Beta version of Office and listed the bugs I found.

If you didn't get your chance to get on the Million Dollar Homepage then you better jump on this, that is assuming you have more than $21,000 to spare. The creator of the Million Dollar Homepage has sold all but 1,000 pixels and has put them on eBay to go to the highest bidder. The pixels for sale are circled in red on the above picture (which is almost the dead center of the page!).

From the screenshots it looks like this may be one of the best browsers for Pocket PC. It appears to render the pages very well without making the text unreadable. We can expect to be able to download this from Opera in the middle of January. For those that are dedicated Firefox fans, there is a Pocket PC version of Firefox but it does not do a very good job.

Paul Thurrott has supplied some nice photos of what we can expect in the future version of Windows. People have said that Windows Vista 5270 has some nice Tablet PC enhancements to it, where one of the really nice features is the ability for the computer to learn how you write. It will be similar to voice training I would presume, but I have not been able to test this feature myself.

If you plan on renting your Xbox 360 Games from GameFly you might want to be careful with those games.

This could end up being the ultimate Firefox Extension! Soon you may be able to do all of your file sharing straight from Firefox. That is the concept of Peer Pressure File Sharing.
