Office 2010 beta: for invite users only
As remembered, 3 years ago, Microsoft introduced and delivered two public Office 2007 beta, first in March 2006 and last in September. But now, Microsoft claimed that they will not provide a public viewing and download of this beta phase of application but instead the company will invite users to do the preview starting this November 2009.
Eventhough some of my colleagues here in my company are using Office 2007 and other IT professionals here and outside the country, we cannot deny that
many users prefer to have the 2003 version than the updated one, but how can Microsoft address this kind of uncertainty to these users especially when they are about to give way to the latest Application Suite which in fact people have not recovered yet to the dilemma and technological shock that Office 2007 has given.
Anyways, Microsoft said that final release of Office 2010 will be available by the first quarter or half of 2010.
I may love Office 2007 but 2003 is the best!

Bill Gates goodbye in tech-ed keynote
Bill Gates keynote at Tech·Ed Developers conference at Orlando served as a preview of some of Microsoft's soon to be released technology. Some of the mentioned technologies/data oriented products were; the go live edition of silverlight 2, a new data caching technology and a partnership with IBM, the first Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Velocity, a distributed in-memory application cache platform, and a CTP of the Microsoft Sync Framework for Windows Mobile.
“When I think back on the early days of development when we were all programming in DOS, and then take a look at what we can do now with technologies like the .NET Framework, it simply amazes me how far we’ve come,” Gates stated.
He humbly finished the speech and got off the stage with polite applause from the audience.
Microsoft acquired Kidaro's tech
Desktop virtualization is getting more better with Microsoft technology (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP)) and Kidaro's technology which produces new desktop virtualization product called Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization. This product is very useful for roaming laptop users.
“This technology will help enable end users to run applications from multiple versions of Windows at the same time, with seamless windowing and menus, and without the confusion of logging into and seeing multiple virtual machine desktops,” stated Shanen Boettcher, general manager of Windows product management.
Very cool combination indeed!
