Get your free software
and online workspace from
Microsoft...
If you haven't
heard about it yet - you'll probably want to wise-up on this
one. It's a new range of products under the 'Windows Live'
umbrella and we think in the not so far distant future it's it's going to change
everything... Here's the link...

Office Live is
a new on-line office, workspace and storage solution using
'cloud-based' storage and web-based office tools. It takes the best features of
hi-speed Internet access and the ever-decreasing costs of
data storage, and gives you a whole load of things to help
you organise your life. To wet your appetite some of the
features you will find available to you FREE are:
 |
Microsoft Office Live Workspace - a free office
package from Microsoft that integrates with your
desktop version and allows you to work on your
documents, from any PC, anywhere in the world. Free
web versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote
mean there's no excuse for not getting your work
done |
|
|
Free
website builder (it's good!) with the business
version of Office Live |
|
|
Collaboration - you can share your documents,
teachers can set homework for workgroups and pupils
can do all their homework online - lovely! |
|
|
Windows
Live Sky Drive - if you've heard about 'Cloud-based'
storage and your already thinking about the benefits
of this then you're going to love Sky Drive. You get
a massive FREE 25GB of storage online. Now there's
no excuse for loosing data...
|
You'll need to
be on Broadband to make effective use of all this. And then
you'll need to create a Windows Live account (whatever you
do - don't forget your username and password!)
Windows 7 - the
replacement for Vista, now expected December 2009...
Originally
planned for the first quarter of 2010, Windows 7 is now
slated to be released in December this year.
Windows 7 will
come with a secret new feature called XP Mode that brings a
virtualized Windows XP environment to the OS (Professional,
Enterprise, and Ultimate versions only). There also Windows
Touch - an improvement on the tablet PC touch capabilities.
In fact there's far too much information for us to cover on
the subject here so why not take a look at the
Windows 7
News website - an independent website that has
screenshots, wallpaper, themes and all the latest
information about the new operating system.
  
And before
you ask - Microsoft has already started working on windows
8... |
