Microsoft has talked about accelerating its business by offering services, but some analysts worry its race to compete with Google and others could leave Microsoft's very profitable business model in the dust.
The recent launch of IBM's Office application suite is part of a broader challenge to Microsoft's entire .Net development framework, say industry experts.
Maybe companies shouldn't be so quick to pull the plug on personal Web surfing at work.
The Big Easy plans to be the first major city to offer free wireless Internet access to its citizens in an effort to entice businesses and people to return to the city after the devastating hurricane season.
Satellite-based Internet access is ready for lift-off, but when will it rocket past cable and DSL?
During a trip to the US four years ago, I rented a car fitted with an XM satellite radio which gave me well over 100 radio stations, each carrying a continuous stream of crystal-clear talk radio or music in a surprising array of genres.
Sprint's WiMAX roll-out in Baltimore will prove the Australian government's decision to worm its way out of the Opel WiMAX contract was a short-sighted, and ultimately damaging, political stunt that has benefited nobody.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
Labor's policy of socialised broadband has certainly proved much harder than the party believed it would be back when it was in Opposition, but it is Telstra that stands to lose the most from the NBN - and that applies whether it loses the NBN contract or wins it.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
Here's what you should know before you invite the new Office onto your hard drive.
Microsoft's chairman looks ahead to how the music player might morph and tells why changes in Office 2007 are "such a big deal."
While it doesn't bring the same jaw-dropping interface changes that accompany other modules in the Office 2007 suite, Outlook 2007 does provide a number of new and very useful features, and the interface does change a bit to accommodate some of these new features.
A Chinese academic has revealed a major problem with the way Microsoft's encryption tool handles Word and Excel files. This flaw could allow a cracker with basic cryptography skills to decrypt the files.
Technology is allowing workers to stay in contact no matter where they are. How do you choose the right combination of hardware, software, data transport, and voice transport, then secure the whole lot and make sure your organisation is set up to take advantage?
While Microsoft Office System is the most complete suite on the block, there's no compelling reason for everyone to upgrade.
If you work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis, this upgrade can make scheduling simpler and e-mailing more interesting. Still, we wish Instant Search and e-mail rendering were better.
Wi-Fi access is a great convenience, but frankly, it's beginning to worry me.
ELOoffice 7.0 interfaces with a very wide range applications, has excellent scalability through professional and enterprise versions, and has local technical support. Overall it is a well featured document management system and offered at a very good price.
If you need to make sleeker-looking documents and presentations, Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is a worthy upgrade. But stick to your current software if you don't feel that it lacks anything.
