Office 2007 Good… and slow

I’ve been using Office 2007 now just about exclusively since the initial beta versions have been available for use. I will say that I love the new versions of each application. Similarly to other users, I still find myself searching through some options to find the task that I’ve done before, but am only doing […]

I Like IE7…but where’s the Toolbar

I used Firefox for about a year or so while IE6 was still on the market. I didn’t really like the initial beta of IE7, so I stayed with Firefox through that time as well. Now that the full-blown version of IE7 is available, I’ve got to say I like the layout and structure of […]

Another feature I like is the full-page view of all open tabs.

Trying IE7 Again

I decided to try the IE7 beta again to see what’s improved. I really like it! I think they’ve done a better job of organizing and streamlining the default interface, although they have made it hard to really adjust it to even a more minimalist state like I prefer. I really try to shrink and […]
