Windows IT Pro Anyone hoping for a blockbuster revelation from Microsoft during CEO Steve Ballmer's annual keynote address last night at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was no doubt disappointed, as the software giant unveiled no major new initiatives. In retrospect, however, this seems to be part of a plan to exude a quiet confidence in the future rather than adopt the Chicken Little stance of many of its followers. The message was simple: Microsoft had a great 2010, and 2011 will be even better. ... View the full article

Windows IT Pro On the eve of the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Microsoft confirmed its long-rumored plans to port the next version of Windows, currently known as Windows 8, to ARM chipsets, in addition to those based on the Intel x86 architecture. And yes, the port is happening in part to power a new generation of iPad-like slate devices, but Microsoft says that it has plans far beyond that, since these "system on a chip" systems are so small they can fit on a fingernail. ...

Hi All, I want to customize the options in right-click menu for Word 2007. I need this, as I find the options provided by MS are either insufficient or displayed arbitrarilly. I'm not an adminstrator / programer at my office. Hence, it will be helpful if you can give me a work around without VB macros or commandlines.

I just recently moved over our file server data from a 2003 box to 2008. Everyone can connect to it just fine except for our apple machines. The machines connect using server finder (connect to server) that's builtin. It's able to connect to all of our servers except the new file server which sits on Server 2008. The only way it's able to connect to the new server is by using Command K and entering smb:/IPADDRESS. At first I thought it was a DNS issue but it's able to ping the server by host name just fine. Any ideas???
