Sal,
I am aware that MSFT is trying to splinter Java much in the same way that Unix is splintered today. Kory's post about how things are cheaper due to MSFT will certainly not be true if they are successful in splintering Java.
Let's also not forget that MSFT is a 6B company who has warned about slowing revenues & earnings & increased investment. There is no question in my mind that they are making good, sound investments - I just feel the investor enthusiasim is at a peak and there are some challanges given the stock price, the warnings from the company and Java. |

Sal and all...I checked out Office 97 DEMO disk that comes with PC mag's ....and I really like what MSFT did to OFfice 97. This is great, every piece of it seems to be much easier to use and more intutive. I have to teach myself to use Excel before going into the MBA program but the new Excel looks intuitive enough to use. The interface looks nicer too.

I have Office 97---like it a lot, but only after I added more memory to my computer ;) Oh well, at least memory prices are low!
BTW, I'm reluctant to use Outlook for my email, because it deletes your mail from your SMTP/POP3 server once it downloads it. For someone like me who isn't always at their own computer, this really sucks. They should fix that problem with the v1.1 release in a few months....

Sal,
MSFT just gave me Office 97 Pro ($600) for free .. I went to a Dog and Pony show by MSFT and they gave away about 6 figures worth of software ...
Did you get your IntelliRAT yet??? |

Wow!?!? Are you sure it isn't a test copy that expires soon?
I got my IntelliMouse--but the damn thing isn't working with my laptop. I spent hours on the phone with Microsoft themselves, and that damn thing couldn't be fixed $%@#$!!!
Hmm, either the mouse goes, or my laptop (2 weeks old) goes....Guess which!
Sal Habash
P.S. Check your email. |

Well, I might have to start going to those conferences....
Do they charge admission? Or are you in one of their developer programs?
BTW, I don't care if I paid for your CD-ROM, because MSFT always pays big dividends to their shareholders (oops, they don't pay "dividends," their stock just goes up, and up, and up,....)

The conference are for resellers only .... Well, let me rephrase that ... anyone can go, but only the resellers can get the "real" copy (as oppose to the one 90 day trial version) A friend is a reseller ( I do consulting for him) we both received a "free" copy of Office Pro 97 ....
No admission charge ...
Find a friend from COMP USA or Best Buy ... They will tell you about it ....
They also raffle out many other software ... and hardware (IntelliRAT, Joysticks, and MS keyboard) I think everyone received a free t-shirt ...
If this is not bad enough, MSFT have Babes doing the presentation to tease all the gumps at the show ... Believe me, you will feel like you are in Revenge of the Nerds part VI ... |
