The Microsoft Office Word Team’s Blog : Co-authoring (i.e. Simultaneous Editing) in Word 2010: “Co-authoring (i.e. Simultaneous Editing) in Word 2010

When we first started blogging about Word 2007, we talked a lot about 21st Century Documents. Our vision was that Word 2007 would allow authors to easily create much richer documents (Quick Styles, Themes, SmartArt, Picture Styles, Building Blocks, etc.). In Word 2010, our cutting-edge authoring pillar builds on the 21st Century Documents vision in that 21st Century Documents often have multiple authors.

Top 10 Windows Security Configurations: Where and How! (Part 1): “There are always top 10 lists that grab your attention; and this one should be no different. Windows provides many settings, options, and areas of configuration. In reality, this might be a Top 100 list, but there is only room for 10. This list is created from years of educating and asking myself questions like, “what do administrators do and not do when it comes to security?” This list seems to be where administrators fail to look and setup security. It also includes a few settings that are not all that well known, but certainly have huge rewards for securing your Windows environment. I have tried to include references to other articles that go deeper into the topic, in case you want to read more about the security setting being suggested.”

This looks very promising…a review from TechRepublic.com…

Record screencasts with open source Webinaria | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com: “If you’ve ever had to try to create a training demonstration, you know how helpful a screencast can be. If you’re not sure what a screencast is just think of it as a video capture of you working on your PC. This is an incredible educational tool that users can watch to see how to do things. There are a number of tools out there to do this, but only a handful of them are free. Webinaria goes even further and opens its source up to the users.”
