Now that we've had some time to play with the Office 2010 Professional Beta, we thought we'd share what's new and useful inside Microsoft's big suite. | ||

I found it funny that the author went out of his way to knock silverlight
"Silverlight is, unfortunately, required" What's the big deal? Silverlight is a small quick install. Does the author cry when flash is required? |

| Spyware is a small, quick install too. But none of us want it :) |

#2 Really? You really are going to equate Silverlight with Spyware?

| I've been using Visio 2010 beta for a few days.. and man oh man, what an improvement over the crap that was 2007. |

| I disliked Office 2007 as it did not make exact saves in Office 2003 format for my Excel Invoice. Office 2010 not only saves it correctly is runs faster than 2007 and is not much slower than 2003. I like it and will send MS a smiley or two. |

#1: Does the author cry when flash is required?
No, because he already had it installed (much like everyone else on Earth.) That's the whole point. He has to download & install SL to see something that could have been done in Flash. How would you feel if you were referred to a web page but told you had to view it in Opera instead of your local browser? Opera is a small download and installs quickly. You would still be grumbling about it, as would I. #6: There are some people that you just cannot kid with about Microsoft. |

"No, because he already had it installed (much like everyone else on Earth.)"
You're joking right? I can't tell you how many tomes I've had to install Flash. So if MS just pushed it out to everyone, you wouldn't have a problem with that? |

The web is stuffed with sites that require flash, or at least heavily depend on it. I can't think of any that require SL, other than some of MS's properties. So if MS just pushed it out to everyone, you wouldn't have a problem with that? I thought they already did, just not as a critical update. Recommended update perhaps? |

A version of FLASH shipped with Windows Vista/7.
For a time, as all vendors may, Adobe distributed FLASH via Windows Updates - most especially critical security updates to FLASH, where in the spirit of consumer interest and cooperation, Adobe used a distribution channel that has been open to all for some time. Further, a steady stream of Adobe FLASH updates has been provided, requiring reinstallation and in many cases, manual uinstallation, a restart (to delete files alread in use) and reinstallation. A new install being required, now uses a download manater with its own RMI/COM client control and a default Google Toolbar that has to be cleared manually to avoid it. FLASH remains the number one reason browser sessions and tabs crash, according to our own logs and experience. Please see, (it is as relevant today as it was when written) http://blog.libertech.net/blogs/lketchum/archive/2008/01/29/gritty-nits-fix-internet-explorer-7-crashes-in-vista.aspx The negative affects of FLASH and poorly written action scripts impact users of all platfroms upon which it is run. By contrast, SL/WPFe/WCF are turning out to be most wonderful - things like native H.264 streaming from IIS 7 without conversion (under media services). Media aside, SL is going to change the web and drive RIA's that leverage the best of all - like the HTML 5 embed tag used in the example above to stream media to iPhones! |

| #10: Agreed! Flash is the most updated piece of software on my Home pc, closely followed by the noscript plugin for FF. |
