Windows Weekly 132: Google Bing

by Jon Cole in TechDecember 1st, 2009 @ 1:46 pm

Windows WeeklyOffice 2010 is the big topic for this week, with Leo Laporte and Paul Thurott coming through to give you some tips on getting started.  The Office Beta is currently public and Paul notes his preference of the Office Home and Business 2010 option, which offers Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook, and OneNote.  The Click-2-Run option for the beta is also a hot issue, considering Leo really enjoys the virtualization aspect and believes we’ll see many similar applications in the future.

Leo talks about his recent attempt to use the developer build of Chrome OS on his MSI Wind with little success.  Paul isn’t necessarily convinced that this up-and-comer is going to have a big footprint in the landscape, but thinks that this is a huge move for Google nonetheless.  In the end, Google has the money and mindshare to challenge Microsoft in a way that nobody else has and that’s what has Paul convinced that this is a big foot in the door.

Covered news and topics:  Office 2010, Office Starter, Office Home and business, Click-2-Run, Office To Go, Windows Home Server PP3, Chrome OS, Kindle news, Black Friday, YouTube automatic captioning, AlternativeTo

The new office is here the new office is here, Bing’s got big deals for Black Friday, and why Chrome OS could mean trouble for Microsoft.
