November Tieline article on Dispersed Environments

The November 2007 issue of the STC Tieline has an article on getting participation in chapters with "dispersed environments." The article talks about several options for overcoming this, and eventually ends up with a solution similar to ours (virtual meetings!) Seems pretty obvious, but still a good read.

Vista and Word 2007

If anyone is running the new Vista operating system and using Word 2007, you might find this article in the STC Atlanta CommLink newsletter interesting. Go to http://www.stcatlanta.org/newsletters/STC_July07_small.pdf. It may take a minute or two to download the file.

I was visiting with a friend over the weekend who recently purchased a new computer with both Vista and Word 2007, and she said the changeover is difficult at best. After reading this article, I think I understand why she is having problems transitioning to Word 2007.

Personally, I just think Microsoft thrives on making our lives miserable when every new product comes out. Their philosophy seems to be sell it and wait for the customers to tell us where the bugs are in the application; then, send out patches and fixes to make the customer happy. I'm glad to be spending most of my day with Adobe products these days.
