Microsoft Windows Vista and 2007 Office System Customer Preview Program
Posted by Darius Wey in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 10:00 PM
Now is your chance to sample Beta 2 of Windows Vista (released to the public today) and the 2007 Office System (available since a couple of weeks ago).
You can learn more about the new features in Windows Vista here, and the 2007 Office System here. With regard to mobile devices, you'll notice a new Windows Mobile Device Center in Windows Vista - designed to replace ActiveSync, and enhance device management and the sync experience between PCs and Windows Mobile-based devices. Admittedly, it's still a little broken and there is room for improvement, but if you enjoy poking around, do check it out. Also, earlier, we spoke about OneNote Mobile. You can grab OneNote 2007 from Beta 2 of the 2007 Office System, which includes OneNote Mobile. Install it on your Pocket PC and Smartphone to discover what it's all about.
Remember - these are pre-release versions of Windows Vista and the 2007 Office System, so avoid using it on your primary machines and install at your own risk.
