Office

Google Cloud Connect is a small add-on for Microsoft Office designed by Google. It connects Microsoft Office to Google Docs, so you can save your documents to Google Docs in the cloud and collaborate online directly from Microsoft Office. The unfortunate part is that it doesn’t let you edit Google Docs documents directly inside Microsoft Office. It would be great if you could. To be honest, Google Docs is very handy, but it crashes quite often, and it has far too few features… ...

This version of the Microsoft 2010 IME hasn't changed the interface much. That's so people who used the Microsoft IME 2007 don't have a hard time switching over (example: my mom....). At first I thought it didn't have any new features, but after typing this post, my opinion changed. The Microsoft 2010 IME has really improved its smart word selection (which is probably why this post has fewer typos XD). The 2007 Microsoft IME used to make a lot of typos, and I never understood what Microsoft was thinking. It would often spit out really strange words = = But Microsoft Office IME 2010 doesn't have that problem. Also, Microsoft Office IME 2010 is free, so no need to worry about the BSA coming to your door one day ^^...

Recently, my team used Google Docs to write the web page content for a 2010 web design competition on charity, humanities, and technology, so I ended up using Google Docs' online collaboration feature. It's quite easy to use. Just set the document's sharing permissions, send the URL to your collaborators, and you can start editing the document together. It also has a simple built-in instant messaging program, so you can chat while you write. It's great for school group assignments or for anyone who needs to write reports at work....
