Anybody think this is hurting IE’s market share?
Anybody consider this is solved, since we now have:
SVG Web’ is a JavaScript library at http://code.google.com/p/svgweb
Or
‘Google Chrome Frame’, an open source plug-in that brings Google Chrome’s JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer
At https://developers.google.com/chrome/chrome-frame/

BTW damn shame that we seem to be missing this functionality in IE.

IE8 broke it…. Firefox works much better when offline

In Excel 2007 and 2010, it supports importing data from various data sources, e.g. SQL Server, Analysis Services, etc. But it does not support importing data from “Web Services”. Importing data from Web Services functionality is great to have, so it will save user time to write VSTO code or VBA code to call web services.

Sometime, users may want to get data from Web Services provided by other party. It is a bit cumbersome to do at the moment, since Access 2007 and 2010 does not support importing data from Web Services. Users may need to write VSTO code and VBA code to call the web services. It will be very helpful if Access supports importing data from Web Services.

My Feedback for Office 2010 team is…
The Print button should be at the bottom right ?as the eye navigates down we have to look back up to hit Print
I could be wrong, so I would love to know the logic behind this change.
We all know what SPAM is… and Outlook seems to catch most of that fine.
But there is a 2nd level of SPAM, and that is newsletters you subscribe to, but rarely get to read… but you will ‘one day’
I would love another mailbox called ‘Junk Newsletters’ and it picked up my newsletters.
Figure: We need another folder “Junk Newsletters” and button “Not a Subscribed Newsletter”
I don’t see users (aka knowledge workers) use the Quick Access Toolbar… I don’t even see advanced users like developers use it.
I think it would be great to have it automatically learn how we use the application and put shortcut commands there.
Then encourage me to use the shortcut commands, by having it give a visual indication (eg. flash) when I use the normal slow menu.
Figure: It would be great to see the Quick Access Toolbar grow from this…
Figure: To this… automatically
PS: I would also like to see it in VS.NET
If I type “Brian”
Figure: Then click “Check Names”
It will change to “Brian Norton”
Instead of giving me a choice of “Brian Norton” and “Brian Noyes”
Figure: The reason is it only looks in the “Global Address List”
Figure: I want it to also look in the “Contacts” Address Book too.
PS: My iPhone uses the same data, but works as I expect.
Summary points
Suggestion for the Outlook Team
Figure: Change the “Check Names” button to this style
Figure: Make the order more discoverable by adding “Change Order” under “Check Names” button that would take you to
Address book
