It’s "time" to search?

Microsoft has now released the Office Search Add in. I love the ribbon but sometimes navigating is just too hard for me. Luckily Microsoft released this and Office 2007 is shining.

 

Guided Help which was mysteriously taken out of Help and Support in the release version of Vista has returned. I applaud Microsoft in their efforts and encourage them to keep making great tools and products.

How will Albany do?

Microsoft’s recently known soon to be released beta software will either be success or a failure. In my opinion, I think the Albany software is worth it as I have many CD’s and boxes in my house and it is crowded. I have been searching the Internet like a hawk and have been searching for software images. So far the only, maybe fake image I’ve found was this.  Microsoft says that the Albany software will be released into public beta soon. One thing in specific that I like about the Albany software is the antivirus software included. While Windows Live Onecare may have got a bad review from PCmag. I still think Onecare is a good software based on reviews from here, here and my own personal experience. Microsoft Office Home and Student is without doubt the best office suite I have ever used. Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail are probably pushed in as a convenience.

Here is the “Albany” offering as outlined by Mary Jo Foley: “Albany consists of 2007 version of Office Home and Student; Office Live Workspace, Microsoft’s collaboration-service complement to Office; Windows Live OneCare, Microsoft’s consumer security/backup service; and three Windows Live services – Live Mail, Live messenger and Photo Gallery. The bundle will be delivered via a single installer. When Microsoft releases new versions of any of these software or service components, Albany users will get the latest versions pushed to them automatically for as long as they are paying for the Albany subscription.”

 

Their is only one question left: How much will the yearly subscription cost?

Vista! Productivity! Bitlocker!

Last year when Vista was new, You sold the Optimized Desktop value, That’s a pitch that never fails, And you saw lots of sales, “Wait and see, we don’t want to adopt early! Okay, okay. Go watch. Personally, I really don’t like the video after a couple of views but your opinion might be different. Tell me whether you like it in the comments!

Update: CNET says that this video was a spoof.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 ("Beep" "Whirr" "Major Error"

Sadly, I am having bad luck with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and I have valid proof. Man, what else is going to just not install on me, first Internet Explorer 8 (Beta 1), next Windows Vista Service Pack 1, what’s next Adobe Reader. Feel free to move your eyes below and be prepared for total doom. “Warning, Disturbing Images Below”

Microsoft done with stealing (or it seems)

Microsoft has recently been robbing or at least trying to rob Yahoo. Other than Yahoo, Microsoft has been trying to acquire Danger. And that means danger! They have spent $500 million on Danger. Due to the recent acquisition they create a new division, the Premium Mobile Experiences. Well hopefully they’ll improve Windows Mobile or… create a “Microsoft” cell phone. The “phone”.

We’re geeks bearing gifts! I was looking back in one of the Longhorn promotional videos and came across this:
