Found site where you can test drive office 2010 online instead of installing it--www.microsoft.com/click/businessproductivity

A lot of new tricks w/ 2010 if you watch the demos, and it looks like they've posted some labs to play around in.

boe -

number 1, check the backstage, you can do that now. they added the ability to switch seamlessly between multiple exchange accounts.

number 2. have you seen the new photo editing? automated background removal, cropping, color correction, effects, framing etc. i don’t know why i would ever go back. as for real data base, one you dont need to write code to add images. two, i am at teched emea right now and saw access services. holy cow, access is basically the worlds simplest web app creator and hosted on sharepoint to boot.

number 3. there are partners out there today who do this but there seems to be a lot of data out there suggesting gains in productivity. also, now that it’s coming to sharepoint and all the other apps it seems like this is going to help drive usage a ton. also have you seen these, they have them for all of the old apps to ease transition.

Nothing beneficial for most businesses – no reason to upgrade/purchase -

Like Vista – all bling – no function.

If they wanted to improve Office they SHOULD have -
1. Made outlook open multiple e-mail accounts as full exchange -not an additional mailbox with some functionality or pop/imap with very limited functionality but two seperate exchange profiles simultaneously from multiple exchange servers.

2. Full OLE support for pictures in access – umm wasn’t that functional with Office XP – why take that out? Why should someone have to code to add pictures to a personal database? Might was well use oracle or a real database if you are going to have to use code. Adding Office XP photo editor is the work around but why not just add photo editor back into office if that is the solution?

3. Offer the old menu bar for people (most of my clients) who don’t want to learn the new menu bar. You can finally modify the ribbon to some extent in 2010 however my clients just want their old ribbon bar. Frankly I have no issue with the new menu bar but I’m one person and most of my clients don’t like it so prefer to stick with office 2003. MS could make money selling the new version if they just offered the old menu as a choice with the new ribbon.

We switched our Exchange server from 2003 to 2007 (at AppRiver) and now I no longer see my “sent” messages in the conversation view. I have the “Show Messages from All Folders” selected but I do not see the messages in Sent Items. I tried moving a message from a conversation in my Inbox to another folder and it no longer appeared in the conversation either. What could be causing this problem?

Also one feature about Outlook 2010 I like a lot, you can click on an e-mail and see all e-mails from that sender in an instant. That’s what I’d normally would do a sort for and have my whole inbox reshuffled so that I can find that particular e-mail.

The conversation grouping ala Gmail is also a really good addition.

The co-authoring I’m eager to test, but I’m one who has to ‘see it to believe it’.

Also, I don’t know how, but the technical preview has an insanely fast start up time compared to the 2007 products. I hope that stays like that in the final version!
