Microsoft Office 2010 SP1 To Be Release By June 2011

Microsoft said on Wednesday that the company is planning a Service Pack 1 for Office 2010 by the end of 2011.

In a company blog, Director of Microsoft Office Managed, Quin Nikel said the software giant plans to offer a final version of Office 2010 SP1 by the end of 2011. Citing Microsoft’s recent Windows 7 SP1 announcement, Nikel said “some of you may be wondering when the Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 SP1 will be available for download. Microsoft typically releases a service pack 12 to 18 months after a product is launched and you can expect that same timeframe for Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010.”

Microsoft’s upcoming Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 SP1 will consist of minor updates, including all previously released public updates according to the software maker. “For customers that stay current, there’s no need to wait for SP1 to deploy. You are already enjoying the advantages of SP1 and can deploy now knowing that you will benefit from all the innovations included in Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010″ said Niel.

The changes can be made in following aspects: 

• Fixes an issue in Outlook where “Snooze Time” would not reset between appointments.
• The default behavior for PowerPoint “Use Presenter View” option changed to display the slide show on the secondary monitor.
• Integrated community content in the Access Application Part Gallery.
• Better alignment between Project Server and SharePoint Server browser support.
• Improved backup and restore functionality for SharePoint Server.
• The Word Web Application extends printing support to “Edit Mode.”
• Project Professional now synchronizes scheduled tasks with SharePoint task lists.
• Internet Explorer 9 to provide “Native” support for Office Web Applications and SharePoint.
• Office Web Applications support for Chrome.
• Inserting Charts into Excel Workbooks using Excel Web Application.
• Support for searching PPSX files in Search Server.
• Fixes scaling issues and arrowhead rendering errors in Visio with SVG export.
• Proofing Tools improve spelling suggestions in Canadian English, French, Swedish and European Portuguese.
• Outlook Web Application Attachment Preview (with Exchange Online only).
• Ability to uninstall the service pack for Office client suites using “Add Remove Programs” Control Panel.

Evolution and Future Of Apple Products.

It seems like Steve Jobs is thinking big now-a-days. A few years back, the release of iPhone was a great success and till now no other phone has killed it. Then, recently iPad came into being which seems nothing but a bigger version of iPod but still it has made a success in the market right from the beginning. So, the bigger the better?

Now the question is what’s next? As mentioned earlier, Steve jobs is thinking big. So, here is a clue to what we will have out of Apple in next 4 or 5 years. On the eve of 2012, Apple will produce an iBoard which will be as big as your standard 15 inch LCD monitor. I hope world wouldn't end late that year and in case it survives, Apple will release an iMat in 2014 which could be something you will use at your drawing room as an alternative to carpet; instead it will be more digital of course. What remains at Apple disposal is an idea to roll out an iPort supporting plane landings in a digital fashion. Surely, we are moving towards an all Apple era making our life digital. Wasn't life simple when Apple and Blackberry were just fruit?
