Microsoft on Monday said it had released the Office 2007 code to manufacturing, concluding the largest beta program for the productivity suite in its history. The company is still on track to release the new Office to businesses November 30, with general availability in early 2007.

In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, Office 2007 RTM includes several updates, including a SMS text messaging application, localization, and multi-language support.

"The 2007 Microsoft Office system RTM completes the most significant improvements to the products in more than a decade," Microsoft Business president Jeff Raikes said. "It's rewarding to be able to send this release off to our customers and help them take the next big leap forward in productivity."

Along with the release to manufacturing, Microsoft has created new tools and resources to promote the new release. Microsoft Office Online has been redesigned to offer additional templates, new training courses, and more help topics.

Downloadable product trials would begin on December 1, which are an expansion of the current Test Drive program. At the end of the trial, users would have the option to buy or upgrade to the 2007 release. Additionally, Microsoft will provide migration tools and converters to ease the transition for businesses and consumers.

JupiterResearch senior analyst Joe Wilcox said that with Office 2007 out the door, the attention now turns to Windows Vista. "The question everyone will ask me today: How far behind will be Windows Vista? Any day, I expect," he said.

"And it needs to be soon. Presumably, Microsoft would want to launch Office 2007 and Windows Vista during the Consumer Electronics Show, which starts January 8," Wilcox continued. "In an ideal scenario, then, Microsoft would want to RTM both products this week, ideally no later than Wednesday."

Being an official Beta tester for Office, I have seen this release improve over time. It is a must for any Office user, highly recommended.]]> Tue, 7 Nov 2006 23:19:09 normangerman http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1162593495/ http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1162593495/#num1
Why do I care?  I imagine most people are asking.  Most people are content with another system that they run or they are using Linux.  Some people have tried it out and had a bad experience and thought it sucked.  This was my first experience with it and it wasn't until 2 years or so later that I gave it another serious try.

I don't have a lot of time at the moment but did want to get this thread off of the ground.  I intend to come back and post some more info but for now, with the upcoming release of Vista boasting 3d effects I thought I'de post some screenshots of what the distribution I'm currently using is capable of.  First I'll throw out there though, that Windows has not in all this time ever had the brains to make virtual desktops to switch between and this has been long supported in Linux.  My guess is that 3d effects in Vista isn't going to be about just drop shadows making things look raised above the screen, but that it will impliment virtual desktops.

I've seen screenshots of customisations that make Linux desktops look exactly like a mac... well at least one whole distribution is aimed at looking like Windows but I can't imagine why.  Anyhow, by default the look of a linux box is very customizable supporting many themes.

On to the eye candy.  The following pictures is the Beryl project recently marked stable on my distro.  I haven't gotten it working because I have to sort out an issue with me apparently installing things that I should not have, and that are interfering with my weak shared graphics on my laptop (possibly things I compiled that were not in the distribution package manager and my fault entirely), otherwise I'de be posting my own screenshots.

I'll be back every so often with eventually 1017 reasons that Linux really whips the Llama's a**.  This little eye candy is really nothing when it comes to it.  There's a multitude of Desktops that run on top of the base system, there's emulation of some common and useful Windows programs (although most have Linux alternatives), a system can dual boot... which has now apparently become obsolete and a computer can not just (also) emulate a windows install inside a running Linux OS, but one can now actually toggle between an actual Windows install and a Linux install.  The last bit of that sentance I have yet to hear of being done because it is very newly stable, if completly stable, and most people who switch usually eventually go all the way, one or the other but that may change with hard drives being so damn big and cheap now.

On to the insignificant eye candy that I hope blows Vista out of the water.  From what I gather, this is a huge amount of effects such as fade in and fade out, squigly minimise, water effects, all the usual... wait a minute that's only usual for someone who doesn't run Windows
You can see in these pictures that it's a GNOME looking desktop, I think there's integration actually but am not sure, with a unique way of switching virtual desktops... virtual desktops rock, none of that running out of space on the taskbar and then having 5 windows grouped together sort of problem.  The pictures are clickable links.

     

Edit:    I just got Beryl installed. It's WAY more than I had even hoped.  
Not sure I can do it any justice without a tool that captures the screen in video though.]]> Sat, 4 Nov 2006 09:38:15 80 http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1154507605/ http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/m-1154507605/#num1
