Microsoft fights back by listening

Microsoft fixed a lot of the problems that were most irksome to customers using previous Office versions: Multimedia editing can now be done within Word or Powerpoint, security has been vastly improved, and much to the delight of anyone using Office 2007, the "ribbon" has come back after Microsoft unwisely confused users by getting rid of the "File" button.



Even the most common tasks like "undo" and "paste" have been improved, with Office 2010 giving users the option of pasting in simple text, just images or all content with just one click of the mouse.

Outlook has perhaps seen the most drastic improvements. Instead of hunting for replies, conversations are now grouped together. To avoid getting overloaded with irrelevant e-mails, users can click an "ignore" button to send all future e-mails in a conversation to the "Deleted" folder. And Outlook 2010 also integrates Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Windows Live.
 
 
I have just briefly shown you guys what the New Microsoft Office 2010 can do for you today.
 
 
I believe that it has come in at the right time. The technological industry is now more revved up than ever before. The other industries seem to have been undermined by it completely. The shadow cast by the IT firms have obscured the rest of the industries.
 
 

 
Now, they rule the market and the news are perpetually revolving around them. This spells more trouble for the IT firms as well. Why? Well, with more focus on the technological firms now, all of them are fighting hard to get into the spotlight, to emerge victorious.
 
 
Right now in the standing, Google's Android and Apple are clearly getting all the spotlight.
 
 
Apparently the quiet Microsoft has gotten boisterous lately with its introduction of the touted Windows 7 along with the new Microsoft Office 2010 that is going to be released on June 7.
 
 
I'm glad that Microsoft has listened to the consumers, that the ribbon is not exactly the best thing in the world. They still prefer drop down menus like "File".
 
 
Kudos to Microsoft for listening.
