A few weeks ago a lot of sites were writing about a web developer program from Microsoft that provided web-related software at no upfront cost. When you end your membership you will, however, have to pay a $100 fee.

I was going back and forth whether I should write about this, but I wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were on this. I posted on Twitter a week ago about news of OpenOffice.org working on a ribbon-like design for an upcoming version of their office suite. When I saw the news on an official Sun blog I was rather disappointed, which is why I wasn't even going to mention it here on the site.
When Google made the announcement of Chrome OS last week we knew that Microsoft had something planned for toady, and they did.
Here's a helpful tip for those of you who have just started using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, or you've been using it but haven't figured out how to create Distribution Lists.
Microsoft has brought back the Office 2007 Ultimate for students at a geekilicous price. When you visit TheUltimateSteal.com students will be able to receive Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate for just $60. That's a whopping 91% off of the retail cost.
A couple of weeks ago we started a poll asking which Office Suite you used. When the results came in, we found that about 59% of the voters, the majority, used Microsoft Office.
It was just last week that Microsoft said that 180 million licenses of Vista have been shipped since its release, and now we finally have an update on Microsoft Office 2007's standings. According to Microsoft Watch there have been 120 million licenses of Office 2007 shipped, which is actually rather impressive.
A few months ago we were racking our brains trying to figure out what a reasonable price would be for a subscription-based version of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007. In the end I estimated that Microsoft would charge at least $5 per month, but probably not more than $10 per month.
I've said it before, but I'm always amazed at what Tony Ruscoe is able to dig up about Google from snooping around. This time around while he was snooping on one of Google's experimental sites, he found that it looks as though Google is working on Macros for Google Spreadsheets.
Microsoft unexpectedly made an announcement yesterday that Office 2007 Service Pack 2 will include XML Paper Specification (XPS), Portable Document Format (PDF), and Open Document Format (ODF) support once it is released in 2009.
Microsoft Office is a powerhouse suite, and it does of course include templates for the various applications. What it doesn't really have, however, are templates that tie together the different apps within the suite. It looks as though Microsoft may have realized this pitfall, and so they posted six very nice (and free) designer templates that each come in nine different color schemes.
Mac only Interestingly enough Microsoft has released Office 2008 Service Pack 1 today for Macs. What's interesting about that? Well, it is one of the fastest turnarounds for a Service Pack that I've ever seen. The suite of applications was just released back in January 2008, and here we are four months later with a Service Pack.
Back in September, we wrote about "The Ultimate Steal" from Microsoft because they were offering students the option to purchase Office Ultimate 2007 for just $59 bucks. Considering it retails for $680, this deal is a 91% discount. At the time they said the offer would end on April 30th, but as it turns out, they extended the offer a few days and now its set to end on May 16th, a week from today.
One of the complaints I've heard from people who start using Microsoft Office 2007 is that because of the new Ribbon, they sometimes have a hard time finding the commands that they're looking for. The Microsoft Office Labs team knows this, so they've decided to help users by launching a project for Office 2007 called Search Commands.
