For the first time I have the feeling they are really doing something about stuff that has been needing updates for such a long time like Notepad, Wordpad, Paint. These are good programs but they need to be updated over time to sync with current formats / needs.

I think people who 'hate' ribbon are being stubborn. It's there to make our lives easier, just adopt to it. :)

Okay. I don't mean to get off-topic, but I really am lost. I sent my resume to [email protected], but I've sent it three times and have gotten failure notices. I tried using my Hotmail (windows live) address twice, both of those didn't work so I sent a test message from my Hotmail to my Yahoo, and that worked... so then I sent it again from my Yahoo, and got the error again.

Was the server shut-down, temporarily offline for some reason, or... what?

Thanks for your help. =P

That email is a NO REPLY email address so don't expect to get anything other than the failed sent notice.

And is there anyway I can sign up to become a beta tester?

Are you signed up to ms connect? Not sure how getting on the betas works these days but that's the place to start. Just make sure you participate properly in any beta you sign up to.

I think that address has been obsoleted by Microsoft Connect. That address was for the old Microsoft Beta Place.

Some people are asking how can they get in to test this.

most likely if you tested vista and such you'll get in.

Windows 7 I believe will be a much smaller, more private, intimate beta. I think what happened with Vista was it got too large and unwieldy with up 20 to 30 thousand beta testers. I am not discriminating against that, but I believe, too many cooks in the kitchen tend to spoil the pot. Of course Microsoft will accept new eyes to look at the code. But, I just don't see that free for all happening with 7 like it did with Vista.

Wow... that is really nice. I assume there will be a new Microsoft Office for Windows 7?

There will be a new Microsoft Office, codename 'Office 14', its not necessarily for Windows 7, although they are most likely to be launched together and be more synergistic.

What makes you think it has anything to do with MS employees being superstitious?

just going by what i read

Most sources agree that Microsoft will skip version "13" due to superstition (see triskaidekaphobia). Regardless of what they call it, expect the inertia of current installs to slow adoption of both Office 2007 and its future incarnations

if thats not the case why was 13 skipped ;)

    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam"

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
