Bad news! Microsoft Word sale prohibited as of Jan. 11, fix promised.
Dec 23rd
total bad news. you guys should read this report! this means that Office 2010 might be delayed.
Office workers of America, enjoy your Christmas break. Because come the new year, things could get a little hairy around the office. Microsoft Word is now scheduled to be prohibited from sale beginning January 11, 2010. That’s less than three weeks away. The good news: Microsoft has promised a fix, one which will be rolled out before the deadline arrives.
If you don’t understand, you might have simply missed this story, or dismissed it as something that Microsoft would ultimately use its considerable clout to have pushed under a legal rug.
But it’s no joke. In August of this year, a court sided with a small Canadian company called i4i that holds a 1998 patent on the way the XML language is implemented, finding that Microsoft was in violation of that patent. The result: Microsoft was told to license the code in question from i4i or reprogram it, or else Microsoft Word would have to be removed from sale in the market. The original ruling gave Microsoft until October to get its legal affairs in order, but appeals pushed that out a bit.
Now a federal court has upheld that original ruling — plus a fat, $290 million judgment against the company — imposing the new January 11 D-Day on the matter. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Office will both be barred from sale as of that date — though naturally you’ll still be able to use copies of Word and Office that you already own, and Microsoft will be allowed to keep supporting those copies.
Unless Microsoft ships the promised technical workaround very quickly, things are going to get extremely dicey in the computer world, and fast. Not only will retail outlets selling shrinkwrapped copies of the software be affected, computer manufacturers (who complained loudly about this injunction when it was announced) who bundle Word and Office on the computers they sell will also be seriously impacted by the ruling.
There’s always a chance things will change again as the January 11 deadline approaches, but if your company requires Word or Office to keep operations running, it might not be a bad idea to stock up on a few extra copies now.

Office 2010 Sneak Preview by SPIC!~
Dec 22nd
Office 2010 Sneak Preview
brought to you by SPIC
went back to SP today to attend SPIC’s Office 2010 Sneak Preview to see whats the major improvements for the office applications.
So, are you still using Office 2003 and lagging behind the rest who can make compelling communication through files created using Office 2007? Time to make a move… or rather ahead of Office 2007.
Welcome to the Office 2010 beta.
Now you can catch a glimpse of the refined user experience and better productivity experience that everyone else can expect to touch it next year.
Now.. Reviewing Microsoft 2010
Looking into Office 2010, the file menu is totally different from 97 – 2003, and even the latest 2007 that is out in the market. It still uses Ribbons,but there is quite a number of UI enhancements, which made it different, as well as the implementation of Backstage View in 2010.
Confirmed features of Office 2010 include:
- Refined Ribbon interface and Backstage View across all applications
- Background Removal Tool
- Letter Styling
- New SmartArt templates
- New text and image editing effects
- Screen Capturing and Clipping tools
- Live collaboration functions
- Jumplists in Windows 7
In Powerpoint 2010, it has been changed quite alot, with new themes of course, plus new transitions, which made it near, and similar to Mac iWork Suite’s KeyNote.
With these, I’m pretty sure Office 2010 will be doing well if the production is done smoothly, with no bugs or errors hindering it.
We could see from the launch of Windows 7, and Office 2010 Beta, Microsoft has been trying to improve its so called ‘laggy’ operating system and office applications, to a all new experience for the users.
