Hilarious Business Motto

Microsoft to delay Office 2007

By TODD BISHOP
P-I REPORTER

Microsoft Corp. is pushing back the release of the next version of its widely used Office programs, citing the results of internal testing and feedback from people using preliminary versions of the software.

The company said it now plans to release Office 2007 for businesses by the end of this year, and for consumers early next year. Previously, Microsoft had said it would issue the business version in October through its Volume Licensing program, and the consumer version in January.

Microsoft declined to detail the specific reasons for the delay.

The Office programs are Microsoft's second-biggest moneymaker, behind the Windows PC operating system. The company has already delayed the retail release of the next version of that program, Windows Vista, until January.

Windows Live Messenger

Well, I downloaded this new Windows Live Messenger and I don't really think it's all that much different. Supposedly has better webcam capabilities and now supports PC to telephone calling. Think this will be the end of Skype since it has such a huge customer base already? I'm not sure, I think Skype is pretty well established in the market already....

Google Does Online Photo Albums

I like Picasa, so I was excited when I found out that Google is beta testing a new Picasa feature that publishes pictures right from Picasa to the web to share with others. I've been trying it out, and it basically does everything I can really think of that I'd want an online photo album to do. It even has RSS feeds on each album. I'm really happy with how many features this has coming out of the box. Usually Google rolls out new things with very basic features (Google Talk) and it makes you beg for more. But this is pretty good!

Finding Government Info

Yet another Google Tool. Google US Government Search. Search across a huge index of US Federal, state and local government websites via a single search box and get personalized content feeds from the government agencies if you want. Cool stuff.
