Meme of the day: Outlook 12 and RSS (The Office Weblog)

Dec 27th 2005 4:38PM I'm also looking at Office 12 and couldnt agree more. I realize that its only in pre-relase, and this will probaly change, but the method for adding new feeds is buried...it's a joke, almost like MS is mocking RSS. If they were smart, they start building an interface to the Newgator API into Outlook 12 before it's too late.

Oct 15th 2004 3:19PM Looks like J.C. (that's Jason Calacanis for the uninitiated) of Weblogs Inc, the blog network that I also write for, worked out a promotion with X1 to get a free copy of X1 to the first 100 bloggers who link to his post page from their blog. So, here goes nothing. epicenter.gregscher.com

Saving your desktop from Microsoft without getting off XP (or the Diet Coke Desktop) (The Jason Calacanis Weblog)

Sep 20th 2004 1:44PM Jason, You can selectively install components of the Office suite. Beginning with Office 2000 the installation routines have become increasingly granular. Office 2003 is very very granular. It gives you the ability to select/de-select pieces of functionality (which ultimately load DLL's and COM objects which use more memory). The trick to Office is not selecting the "complete" or "typical" install options. Instead, select "custom" and take what you don't need. Granted, you cannot remove the "Comment" feature or the "Theme" feature, but you can handicap them That said, the speed improvements aren't dramatic, but it does help a bit with memory and but much more dramatically with disk consumption and therefore with disk fragmentation, which is a major contributor to a slow PC. Best, Greg
