I love the new Ribbon in Microsoft Office 2007 which has now replaced the toolbars. The only bad part about it is the large amount of screen space that it occupies. Some people don't realize that it can be minimized by pressing Ctrl+F1, right-clicking on the Ribbon and select “Minimize the Ribbon”, or double-clicking on the selected tab.

One of the first things I do after installing Windows is to go to the Control Panel and disable all of the application and system sounds. I don't want that "click" sound each time I click on a folder in Windows Explorer and I definitely don't want the startup/shutdown "melody!"

Microsoft continues to develop the Windows Live services pretty intensely and the newest addition that they are working on is Windows Live Essentials.

Eggdisk may not be a service that you have heard about before but they are offering quite an amazing deal. If you sign-up for a free account before September 1st you will receive 4GB of storage and a 150MB filesize limit instead of the normal 2GB of storage and 100MB filesize limit.

I think most of us doubted that Microsoft would be able to get everything running smoothly for Vista RC1 which is due September 7. It looks like Microsoft has released build 5536, which should end up being the RC1, to testers to make sure it will be stable enough for the public to use. So what's the result? Amazing reviews!

If you noticed that my posting was a little light yesterday that was because I finally sat down to create my first WordPress plug-in. It isn't anything extravagant but it saves me some time and a lot of headache.
