Outlook 2010: A One-Hour “First Contact”: “In anticipation of the upcoming release of Microsoft Office 2010, as a Microsoft MVP I recently got the opportunity to take a trial run of the new version of Office. The upgrade went fine on top of Windows 7 Ultimate. But the first stop in the application suite was going to be the place where we all spend a great deal of time: Outlook. Here are my impressions of my first contact with Outlook 2010.”

The PowerPoint Team Blog : Introducing Broadcast Slide Show: “Introducing Broadcast Slide Show

In today’s world, you often need to communicate with people in different locations who can’t get together in the same room. When you’re presenting, you want everyone to see your slide show at the same time — whether they’re sitting next to you or joining on the phone from 10,000 miles away.

PowerPoint 2010 makes it easy to present on the fly to anyone, anywhere. Just send a link, and in one click everyone you invite will be watching a synchronized view of your slide show in their browser. You’ll never again need to email bulky attachments or make an announcement every time you change slides.”

The Microsoft Office Word Team’s Blog : Co-authoring (i.e. Simultaneous Editing) in Word 2010: “Co-authoring (i.e. Simultaneous Editing) in Word 2010

When we first started blogging about Word 2007, we talked a lot about 21st Century Documents. Our vision was that Word 2007 would allow authors to easily create much richer documents (Quick Styles, Themes, SmartArt, Picture Styles, Building Blocks, etc.). In Word 2010, our cutting-edge authoring pillar builds on the 21st Century Documents vision in that 21st Century Documents often have multiple authors. To accommodate this, we’re working to make co-authoring as natural as solo-authoring. Here’s how…”
