Office 2010 tech preview: A little bit more of 2007.
Microsoft has released a technical preview of Office 2010. This is a pre-beta release intended for feedback, as well as promotion, so it's not feature-complete and may change before the final release planned for the first half of 2010.
I’ve just downloaded it, for vacation viewing.
Nevertheless, it offers a fair guide to what Microsoft is planning for its ubiquitous office suite.
The short summary is 'a lot more of the same': more of the lovely Office Ribbon UI, more integration of the Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and more integration with SharePoint …whoopy.
Microsoft appears to be targeting the web-based Office suites from Google, Zoho, Adobe, and Lotus’s Symphony market offerings.
The big thing about Office 2007 was the new XML-based document formats, and the Ribbon. Office 2010 feels more like a refinement of the earlier version. The Ribbon is now extended to Outlook, which is a nice feature.
I may do a post vacation reveiw.

Microsoft make Office 2010 becomes dramatic
All a bit too American for my liking.
Not quite as slick as Apple:
Who ever said great ads, sell the most products.
At its Worldwide Partners Conference today in New Orleans, MS gave the assembled throng a sneak preview of Office 2010, which is expected to ship in the second half of next year.

How Microsoft Has Changed Without Bill Gates
"It's been a year since Bill Gates left Microsoft in his official capacity. At the time many speculated his departure would spark a significant shift in Redmond.

He didn't leave MS in the clouds.

custom lists- email enabled - nice work around
As most people know, custom lists are not email enabled, but a really good tip is to have these work with another email enabled list, such as an announcement list and have a workflow set up to create the item in the custom list.
A simple non code approach. I spoke to a developer in our company on this and he recommended trigger events, DLL deployment…….I suppose a developer develops.
