The company behind Web-based word processor Writely announced on Monday that it will handle documents saved in the OpenDocument format.
If you're considering an upgrade to Entourage 2008, think again -- for some reason, Microsoft hasn't bothered to add some vital functions that are critical to making Apple Mac systems welcome on any Exchange network.
Microsoft says beta testing for Office 12 begins in November. Also, the company gets 120,000 requests a month from people who want to save their Office documents in PDF format, making it one of the most requested features.
Microsoft issues another herd of vulnerability reports, including a "critical" security hole in numerous Office applications that could let a hacker take control of a PC.
