Now Chat with Live Contacts in Yahoo! Mail

I just noticed when I logged into my AT&T U-verse e-mail account that I can now chat with Windows Live contacts from within Yahoo! Mail.
I thought this was a nice feature, and even interesting that it has been worked on and released within such close time frame to the hostile takeover bid by […]

What is Microsoft "Albany"

Has anyone else been hearing information about a new product entering beta (or is it alpha) testing?
A recent article by Mary Jo Foley shared a few different options of what it could be:

You Choose: Cheap Office or Web-Office?

Would some of the folks clamoring for Microsoft to release a completely Web-based version of its Office suite be just as happy if Microsoft released a stripped-down Office that was really cheap, or maybe even free and advertising-supported?

Should Microsoft Stop Selling and Just Rent Their Software?

An article by Dana Blankenhorn on ZDNet.com has an interesting question she’s posing. At least I think this is a question she’s posing. Her article actually states that Microsoft should be afraid of open-source software, but I’m not sure that’s actually the case.

Are You An Office Genius?

UPDATE: Looks like I missed the boat on this one. The deadline for this was back at the end of June. I need to update my e-mail address for some of my Microsoft newsletters to Gmail. Is that ironic?
Do you really know what you’re doing with Office? Are you the one everyone comes to […]

Is Anyone Really Using Office Live

Back when Office Live first came out and was released back in October of 2006, I immediately signed up for it and got a free domain name. I played around with things, but I never did much of anything with the domain.
I’ve been developing websites for over a decade now and trying to use an […]
