Microsoft begins presales of Office 2010: “Via the Microsoft Partner Network, the successor of the Microsoft Partner Program, Redmond is offering its partners a great deal for their clients: 20 percent off Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 purchases plus an upgrade to Microsoft Office 2010 when it launches in June 2010. In typical Microsoft fashion, the offer has a mouthful of a name: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 No Better Time Promotion. Don’t let that throw you off, though: a 20 percent discount right now and a free copy to the latest version is a great deal for businesses.”

A Guide to Windows 7 Networking – Network World: “Whether at home or at the office, networking has gone mainstream. Once upon a time, a computer had value as a stand-alone machine running applications, but that time has passed. Without an ability to access the Internet, retrieve e-mail, chat via instant messaging, and connect with file shares and software, the computer is little more than an expensive paperweight.

Clearly, the trend is toward remote and mobile computing, and it’s important for an operating system to provide the tools necessary to remain connected and productive from anywhere. Microsoft is incorporating a variety of new networking features in Windows 7 that simplify connectivity and help users access network resources no matter where they are connecting from. Here we’ll take a closer look at some of the innovative networking features to be found in Windows 7 (we may get a little bit technical at times).”
