Labs Gallery: Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview in Pictures: “Just when Windows users started to become accustomed to seeing .docx extensions and to finding their way around on the infamous Office 2007 Ribbon, Microsoft is shaking things up again with a brand new version of its omnipresent productivity suite, Office 2010. eWEEK Labs has been trying out the Technical Preview version of the new suite, and we’ve encountered a raft of really useful new features, particularly around data visualization in Excel. What’s more, Office 2010 is mercifully devoid of major file format or interface metaphor shifts.”

Hands On: Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview – News and Analysis by PC Magazine: “Microsoft today released a ‘technical preview’ release of Microsoft Office 2010, the next version of the world’s most widely used application suite.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has a site called open courseware that provides, FREE, the course materials for over 1900 courses and the list is growing.
I spent way too much time reading material from their course on operating system engineering. There is material there that could keep me entertained for a very long time.

The Windows7News.com site is ran by a couple of guys in the U.K. and Germany. I had to laugh out loud when I saw they have already started a section on Windows 8 news.

The S&P;/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices is showing a small uptick in Atlanta home prices. I hope the trend continues and the market recovers soon. Anyone looking to purchase, or sell, in the major metro areas may want to consult this regularly to check the trend.
