Microsoft has released the new version of Microsoft Works as a free, ad supported office package that will compete directly with Open Office and Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
The Works package offers word processing, spreadsheet and slide (powerpoint) functionality partially based […]
Here’s a book that’s on my wish list now. As much as I have a love-hate relationship with Excel, it’s also an app I know has far more potential to it. I don’t think of myself as an expert, but watching folks struggle with it makes me wonder why all the power has been made […]
Gili over on Connected Internet (one of my fav sites for new and opinion, btw) has picked the top 5 Web 2.0 apps for the enterprise. They are:
