Saving Office 2007 documents as PDF
Finally Office 2007 allows you to save office documents as PDF files. During beta stages this support was supposed to be "native". However, the released version requires you to download an add-on for the same. The add-on is a FREE download but before downloading it checks if you have genuine version of the software. That means you must download it from the same maching on which you have Office 2007 installed. I know many small companies where internet connection is not available on each and every maching. Moreover, the resultant PDF files are not much attractive. Previously I used PDF Creator but for some reason it is crashing under Windows Vista.

Kerala logs Microsoft out
Recently there was a news that Kerala state government has decided to throw MS platforms out and adopt open source platforms. In my openion this is a very wrong move. It is true that schools have limited funding for software training but forcing the students to adopt a specific platform is not a good decision. A bit funny thought comes to my mind - the students will learn platforms that start with L and J during their school days. One fine day they will start earning and buy their own PC. That machine will have Windows 2025 installed and they will not know anything about it :-)
