As to the topic at hand: I actually tried to find a slideshow equipped lappie for someone interested in an instant-on-ish machine and could not. While no MS-based machine is going to be quick-to-start slideshow promised quick access to enough features that I thought it’d meet my friend’s needs. They ended up buying a macbook (lovely unibody lozenge) because it comes back from sleep quickly enough to count as “instant on” in her book.

TechSpot

This appears to indicate that fully native 64-bit builds of Access Excel neNote utlook PowerPoint Project Publisher Visio and Word are on the way as an option when ffice 14 goes live. In addition the file points out the ability to upgrade from either ffice 2003 or 2007 to ffice 14 in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors.

The genius behind Google’s web browser
Financial Times
So why is a new one so important to Google? Why invest time and effort in a free product that generates no income for the company behind it? The answer is not in the browser itself but in the things it can access: namely web-based software programs. These are a source of revenue for Google. The company has high hopes for Google Docs for example an online suite of programs that replicates many of the desktop programs in Microsoft?s ffice ? Word Excel and PowerPoint ? the tools of the modern business. But to deliver better versions of those programs and others over the internet you need better browsers ones that can handle the code that will be thrown at them.
