Microsoft Launch Tour 2007 ( Highlights)
Let me first start off by YES, surprisingly enough, there are highlights at a Microsoft event.
First off, the event's keynote was done by Bill Veghte. He is the
Corporate Vice President, North America
.. ooooo.... ahhhhhhhh.His profile page (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/veghte/default.mspx) was Published: February 1, 2004 | Updated: February 1, 2004. So, nothing new for 3 years. Go to go Bill. But enough Microsoft bashing. Here is some of the cool stuff:
This search bar allows you to quickly type what you want, hit enter and you're there. Think of AutoComplete, add in the ability to search inside documents, across attached storage, network shares, databases, programs, emails, and contacts just by pressing your windows key and starting typing. One word. Awesome.
This (I know you can barely see it) is the MS Office 2007 "Ribbon". It's quite the awesome piece of work. It automagically changes to suite what you are doing. No more looking around for options and buttons and settings. It's all at your fingertips and quickly displayed.
That's it for now. I have only hit 4 points on 3 pages of notes, so there will be much more to come. Stay tuned.
