How Do You Define Bloatware?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed A caller the other night asked simply: “What is Bloatware?” That’s actually an easy one to answer! Bloatware is when you have a piece of software that should be a certain size. However, due to several unnecessary things being added in, [...]
Productivity on the iPad
You only have to wait a few more days, my impatient friends. Your iPad will soon arrive, and you’ll be able to play to your heart’s content. In order to help keep you occupied, I have found a few videos that showcase some of the features and apps built in to the device. Productivity is [...]
Caption This Video of Dancing Microsoft Office Icons
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Don’t ask me why, but for some reason Microsoft Office icons were not allowed to use the restroom at Macworld. They were forced to “dance” it off. Unfortunately, this made quite a mess. The Microsoft Office for Windows icons could pee [...]

Word Document Compatibility
Chris | Live Tech Support | Video Help | Add to iTunes http://live.pirillo.com/ – A word processing application allows you to write some text and save it. A question came in about compatibilities between different version of Microsoft Word, and other word processing programs in general. Word to your mother! Excel to your father. Powerpoint [...]
Microsoft Office for Mac 2008: Delayed
A neighbor (and new friend) Jason sent me the link to Microsoft to delay Office for Mac 2008. I started to compose a personal reply, but then decided to bring the discussion points here, instead. Can’t say that I’m surprised by this move. Seems that many of these large companies have been experiencing setbacks with [...]
Does Microsoft Price Gouge Europe?
Lockergnome subscriber Anthony Down is of the opinion that Microsoft is gouging its European customers. I’m seeking clarification on his assertions, hoping that someone from Microsoft’s European division can clarify the situation – as I’d only assume this is a mathematical error: I am and have been a subscriber to Lockergnome and Tech News Watch [...]
Office 2003 vs Office 2007
Click Image to Play Video http://live.pirillo.com/ – What’s the difference between Office 2003 and Office 2007? The biggest difference – and the only difference most users are going to notice – is the ribbon, which is a replacement for the traditional menu system. The ribbon is supposed to make it easier for people to discover [...]
OpenOffice vs. Microsoft Office
This afternoon, Ponzi asked me to install Office on one of our laptops so that we could use Excel and Word on it. Easy enough to do, right? All I had to do was find the CD, right? Well, I couldn’t find it – and I’m pretty certain all of my Office activations have been [...]
More Outlook HTML Email Problems
Outlook is great. It’s great. So great, in fact, that someone just asked me to blog one of their greatest Outlook concerns. Not quite sure if anybody on the Outlook team gives a rip, but… here’s what Derek sent me earlier: “When I put pictures into an Outlook HTML email, they are much less quality [...]
I’m Using Microsoft Outlook 2007
Stop the presses – I’ve finally moved from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007! Granted, I didn’t have much choice in the matter. The decision was reached after I tried using Outlook 2000 on Windows Vista – and that experience was painful, at best. Then again, my Windows Vista experience has been nothing short of “so-so” [...]
Is Microsoft’s Outlook Team on Crack?
I’ve been playing with Outlook 2007 for a few weeks now, trying to get over the fact that it falls short of “impressive” in nearly every way. I wasn’t sure why HTML email messages were looking as though they had fallen out of the ugly tree – until I read this Campaign Monitor post that [...]
The Outlook on Outlook 2007
The UI still has a ways to go before I’ll be completely satisifed, but Outlook 2007 is shaping up to be a smart upgrade from Outlook 2000 as an Internet PIM. I was proven 100% correct on the suckitude of Oulook 2002 and 2003, as the 2007 team has de-merged Exchange and Internet environments (as [...]
65 Reasons Why Outlook 2007 Will Suck
It started with a small list of Outlook look-outs. But the closer I look at Outlook 2007′s second beta, the more I’m starting to worry. It’s worse than I thought. I know many people disagreed with my assessment of Outlook 2003 (what, with it sucking – though not sucking as much as Outlook XP). However, [...]
