Office 2010 Technical Preview

Excel 2010

Cool Finally you can save as PDF without any add-ons

Sweet feature, Click on Insert, click Screenshot. Once click the screen will go blank, similar to OneNote, and now you can select a screenshot.

1048576 is the end still

Word 2010

Looks pretty much the same except for the Save button. You can Send as PDF now also.

OneNote 2010

Easier way to create shared notebook.

Outlook 2010

Set look all the same but Text Messaging?? What, hmm what will that do if i click on it.

Maybe I should find out what Service Provider URL is.

Clicked on Find a SMS Service Provider, looks like that will cost extra

1st error once I completed the wizard to connect to Exchange.

Minor glitch now Outlook is working fine.

Calendar features. Publish to Office Online. I would assume this is their new Live document library site.

Send and Receive is now a tab with a lot of buttons

Nice new tools

Windows 7 Create VHD Attach VHD

This feature is so awesome. I created a VHD on the C drive and mapped it to the D drive. Next I installed Blackberry Desktop Manager on the D drive vhd. I copied this vhd file over to another machine then Attached the VHD to machine and viola the program worked!

Windows 7 Rating “Windows Experience Index”

I am running Windows 7 on a HP Compaq nx7400 Intel Centrino Duo with 2GB of RAM. My Rating is 2.0 with a laptop 5400RPM hard drive bringing my score average down the most. I wonder what it would take to get a 7.9 score?

Windows 7 beta Backup

One of the greatest things about Windows 7 is the new backup features.

I have found the wizards very easy to use & have successfully restored the OS with Office 07’ twice without one hitch. In this test I was using an external hard drive with the Windows 7 system recovery disk.

Backup and Restore

1st thing you should do is create a system recovery disc. Pop a CD in and burn away 162MB total. You can put this on a USB Stick but you must burn it to CD first.
