You’ve read the reviews and watched the videos, now you have a chance to pre-order a copy of Windows 7 from £49.99 at the Microsoft Store from midnight tonight!
Remember if you are replacing an older version of Windows with Windows 7 once it arrives on 22 October, a clean install of the operating system and the installation of an internet browser will be required.

Amazed that rail ticket machines in this country don’t have QWERTY layouts for typing in required information.
Might sound silly, but the brain takes a while to engage with the above letter formation when trying to buy a ticket.
Add up thousands of people having similar difficulties and you have 1000s of minutes wasted and I bet a lot of lost revenue and missed trains.
I like this approach. Waitrose has always been seen as a more up-market brand of supermarket and some would say more expensive.
So in a recession when you’re trying to attract people that are saving their pennies, why not just stick your products and prices up on a bill board?
People are looking for value for money and this advertising of their “essential range” demonstrates that they’re not all the expensive after all!

For all you UK (and French or Canadian) advertisers that wanted local data in the (previously known as the Add-In for Excel) Microsoft Advertising Intelligence Tool, you know can!
Check out what Carolyn’s been saying on the Microsoft Advertising Blog and take a look at this site specific to the UK!
What do you think? What else would you like to see added?

How do you respond to that!?
I’ve just designed a site for the Budleigh Salterton Art Club in Devon!
Me….a web designer?! Who’d have thought?!
I used Office Live to do it and it took about an hour to set up and launch!
You get to register a domain for free for the first year and you get free web hosting, free design tools and templates to create and edit your site and, to cap it all off, you get free support by phone and email – not that I needed it because it was so easy to set up the site!
You can pretty much add in anything you want at a click of a button:
Seeing as it’s an art club I added a photo gallery but you can have a multitude of modules including contact forms, event calendars, stock lists and even a quick fire map & direction section!
The navigation look and feel is very much like Microsoft Office, as you’d expect being called Office Live! But my point is it’s so easy for the web novice to find their way around and get a new half-way decent website up and receiving traffic in just a couple of hours.
Check out the 3 Step Guide on how to get started and see how other companies have got on with the system at their customer gallery!
It may not be as super-pretty as something a professional designer could whack out, but in these cash-strapped times there is a bunch of retired budding Van Gogh’s in deepest, darkest Devon who are very happy with the result!
It’s not recommended and a bit anti-social, but if you do then don’t be stupid enough to Tweet about it!
This guy has now deleted his Tweet but remember your Tweets live on in Twitter Search!
