Micrsoft confirmed what we've already expected. The new-coming explorer IE 7 will only be
compatible with windows XP and newer. The two reasons why old dinosaurs that still use Windows 2000
and lower won't be able to use the new IE are: 1. state in which is the extended support of
Windows 2000 and 2. mostly of technical nature (IE 7 is goin to have a few security updates and
imporvements, which bases on the functionality of the new XP SP2 and this is the reason for its
incompatibility with other versions of Windows) Source: Slashdot ...

http://labs.live.com/photosynth/blogs/ It's an interesting idea, but I really don't see
the application behind it. I mean where do you go with this. Is it a new way or browsing the web, a
new way to look at photos, a new way to waste our time and bandwidth and processing power? Maybe
it's me, but I just don't get it....

So has anyone downloaded and tried this yet?
http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/be...en/default.mspx It's the entire suite for free
and it's really cool. It's such a huge difference from the Office 2000 I've been using
for years. It's a big 450 mb download but I think it's worth it. You have to log in to
download it but all you need is a hotmail account and you don't even need to give them legit
info or anything. I just put in garbledy gook for all fields besides email. The installer is fairly
smart and will remove previous versions...

Anyways, they also have a new feature. Their image search, groups search and all that jazz is now
easier to access! When you click on the words "image search" for example, it automat...
