For those of you guilty of thinking that nothing interesting comes out of Microsoft, take a look at this video.
In Robert Scoble’s first interview for FastCompany TV, he talks to Curtis Wong and Jonathan Fay from Microsoft Research about Microsoft’s Worldwide Telescope.
It’s not available just yet, but if you’re half as excited by the project as I was at the end of the video, I bet you can’t wait ’till it’s launched…

Not compatible with Office 2007? Try this.

Hi everyone.
I know this might seem a little off-topic but I think many of you will find it of considerable help.
I confess: I am still running Windows XP and, while we’re on the subject and clearing out the skeletons, Office 2003. I have no problems with it, it does everything I need, it’s stable and fully compatible with everyone I work with (Macs too).
However, I’ve been running into a few compatibility problems when I receive files made in Office 2007. Well, the good guys from Redmond have published a Compatibility Pack for those us us still reluctant to force upgrade our systems.
For those who need it (me) you can download the “Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats” here.

I’ve never seen him so relaxed!
