Outlook Enhanced Conversation View - I guess they couldn't just call it "Gmail view" could they? Smiley

Dan's suggestions for custom MailTips had me cracking up. Nice one. Love TWOCN!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

@Littleguru, definitely watch the video of the Tweenbots if you haven't already. Dan and I were cracking up watching it! I would love to know what people were thinking as they encountered the little guy.

The focus on the web is kind of confusing. I doubt this will get anywhere. The only reason web editors are popular now is because they are free...

Office is a great Windows App as it is.

Oh and is Live@Edu using Exchange 2010 already? It looks pretty similar.

The Mesh Remote Client is definitely not as quick as the RDP client. There are so many remote desktop clients for Windows.

Meeting Space, Mesh, RDP, Remote Assistance, Microsoft SharedView.

I'm of the opinion that screenshot of Excel Web Access is using Silverlight. It's a screenshot of IE7, not 8 which lacks a fair few useful CSS2 features, and the screenshot shows some things that would be very hard (if not impossible) to implement using plain XHTML/CSS/DOM Scripting, like client-side conditional formatting for bar-charts: note how the bars differ by scale rather than by scrolling (or simply being clipped). CSS2 has no support for background image scaling and making them inline images would just mess the layout up. It has to be Siverlight.

I don't know. I can't count the number of times when I was at work or something and thought "I need to make a note of this in OneNote", but couldn't, because OneNote was at home, on my private PC. So you're down to sending yourself an email and copy/pasting that stuff into OneNote when you get home. If there was a lightweight OneNote editor that allowed me to just edit the notebook I have at home simply by going to a certain website, then that'd be ideal.

I don't want my software to be available where I installed it, I want it to be available where I am.

Problem:

Web Access software isn't of much use to people who don't control their own servers. Enterprises will eat this up, but home users can't really sync Outlook Web Access with Desktop Outlook unless they use their OWA provider's Exchange servers. Similarly people who want to use Office Web Access will need to trust their provider's SharePoint servers.

....otherwise, the idea of having to upload a 40MB word document to WWA just to make a few changes and then have to redownload it again does not appeal.
