Today Microsoft announces releasing the Windows Live Essentials Beta, which include new versions of Messenger, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Sync, Live Writer and more You can download it from http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-beta. You can read more about the new features here or watch the video. I also had a post for Windows Live Writer 4 new features, check it out. (more…)
Check out my previous post WordPress 3.0 Features. I will keep updating there.
Note: it’s recommended not try beta version WordPress on production site.
WordPress 3.0 has a few great new features and improvement.
In previous version WordPress, default username for Admin is hard coded as admin. In WordPress 3.0, this secure hole is fixed, default user name can be customized when you install WordPress.
It turns out Alter Shortcuts, e.g Alt+R (Reply), Alt+L (Reply All), and Alt+W (Forward), no longer work in Outlook 2010 BETA at all, though they worked in Outlook 2007 and previous Office 2010 CTP version.
Actually, these shortcuts are not lost, they just change Alt to Ctrl for some reason. Users have to use Ctrl+R to Reply instead of Alt+R, use Ctrl+Shift+R to Reply All Instead of Alt+L, use Ctrl+F to Forward Instead of Alt+W.
Hopefully MS won’t change these again in RTM builds.
22th April – Microsoft brings them back in final Office 2010 RTM build 14.0.4763.1000, the shortcuts for reply and forward are same as Office 2007
Reply: Alt+R or Ctrl+Shift+R
Reply All: Alt+L
Forward: Alt+W
I recently upgraded to Office 2010 BETA and I notice an annoy bug in OneNote 2010.
There is a feature in OneNote 2010 which will highlight unread content after notes are synced between two PCs. However, it can’t detect whether those content is read or not so the green highlighting will stay there forever.
The workaround is right-clicking on the notebook and choosing to Mark as Read. By doing this you tell OneNote I read it and please remove the green highlighting. This also makes unread bolding go away.
29th April – This is gone in final Office 2010 RTM build 14.0.4763.1000
In Outlook 2010 BETA, an email in the default HTML format might take much more space than the other formats. Sometimes, a simple msg takes upward .5 MB to 1 MB or even bigger after a few replies.
Microsoft has released a fix for this, which is available at microsoft download center:
Alternatively, you can wait for Office 2010 RC and upgrade when it’s available.
