I was surprised by IE 7.\u00a0 I did not expect anything great because I’ve always found IE behind Firefox in security and features.\u00a0 And I’ve always hated developing sites for IE in Dreamweaver because of the way it treats development standards and CSS tags.\u00a0 But working in a MS environment with Exchange 2003 and Outlook Web Access the use of IE has clear advantages in the functionality of OWA.<\/p>\n
I also tried out Google Office this week.\u00a0 All I can say is now I officially have little reason to close my browser with the exception of Trillian.\u00a0 I firmly believe that by 2015 the icon driven OS desktop as we know it will be a thing of the past.\u00a0 It may still be there in looks but it’s all going to be on a TCP\/UDP\u00a0port\u00a0highway with modifications for\u00a0legacy app support.\u00a0 So to will your entertainment stream to you this way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
