Word 2007 interactive tutorial for Word 2003 userfrom CyberNet News: This morning I actually came across an interactive tutorial that Microsoft is offering for Word 2003 users that lets you hover over a command to see where you can find it in Office 2007 (as pictured below). If that isn’t enough for you then click on the command and it will actually demonstrate how you can find that command in Word 2007. btw, this was Ryan's conclusion: Once you start to get used to Microsoft Office 2007 it is hard to switch back to the previous versions that only have the toolbars. Everything works so smoothly and, despite the initial frustration, you can find things much faster. If you really give the new interface a fair shot, and still walk away not liking it I would be quite surprised. |

KeyPass v2 previews are outKeyPass is one of the best password management tools you can find, and it just happens to be free and open source. You can find a mini-review of it on the DC forum here: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=4061.0 The author has just released some early downloads for version 2, which is a complete rewrite in .net. It's stirred up a little controversy and you can read a new faq about version 2 on the site. Is KeePass 1.x a dead end? http://keepass.info/devstatus.html |

Mapping the Mal Web: McAfee reports where the dangers of the www lurkA study called "Mapping the Mal Web" has been written by McAfee SiteAdvisor. It is based on analysis data from massive tests of website exploits, downloads, the "spamminess" of the sites et cetera ( I reckon they use automatic tests of some kind for this ). http://www.siteadvis..._malweb_mar2007.html It is an interesting read, but most of it was expected, e.g. the most risky sites are the ones in eastern Europe, Russia and China. What surprised me a bit was the result of the .info sites. A stunning 73.2% of the more than 6,000 .info sites that we have tested for e-mail practices are rated risky, meaning that SiteAdvisor registrations at these sites resulted in the receipt of high volume e-mail, spammy e-mail or both. |
