The new icons overall sure are dreadful, Microsoft still hasn't learnt that chang for the sake of change still isn't a good thing.

I like them, I think they're an improvement on the '07 icons at least.

Just installed office 2010 and although I really like the new outlook the icon is just hideous ... To me it looks like the Linux penguin who got beaten up by some MS employees ...

AHAHHAHAHA yes I see it, too. I agree, these icons better be placeholders, they're awful!

And what happened to the new mail notification overlay on the new Windows 7 superbar? I don't see it :cry:

No, the icons will be final. Maybe MS might tweak them a little but that is it, the place holder icons were infact the Office 2007 ones.

The new icons overall sure are dreadful, Microsoft still hasn't learnt that chang for the sake of change still isn't a good thing.

What?!? MS change the Office icons with each release, it makes it easy to identify which version of Office is installed without needing to even run it! and the icons are fine, they blend into 7 much better then the Office 2007 ones do.

EDIT: To what this topic is about, somebody has way too much time on their hands to notice that and then make a big deal out of it...it's just a f$%#ing icon get over it! damn people, what a bunch of whiners!

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area

    • Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion by David Uzondu Image via DepositPhotos.com Salesforce today announced that it has reached an agreement with customer support software company Fin to buy the company for around $3.6 billion. Salesforce expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2027, and the acquisition will not change its financial guidance previously announced on May 27. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, in its press release, claimed that acquiring the startup gives Salesforce an immediate AI agent that resolves support tickets across email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Slack: You might know Fin by its former name, Intercom. If you have ever been on a website or inside a mobile app and noticed a little chat bubble widget floating in the bottom right corner of your screen, often featuring a friendly face and a message like, "Hi! How can we help you today?" you were almost certainly looking at Intercom. Intercom became Fin just last month, transforming itself into an "AI-first" platform that handles customer issues with little need for humans to intervene. The new name originates from the company's highly successful AI customer service agent, which it launched way back in 2023. This digital assistant supposedly resolves about 76% of customer service volume end-to-end on its own, so the business rebranded to match its primary software tool. Fin's new owners, Salesforce, went on an acquisition spree over the last few years, and some of them you might recognize, like its 2020 $27.7 Billion acquisition of Slack. The last few months saw the enterprise giant buy several startups, including m3ter, Momentum, Cimulate, and Contentful. Salesforce said that when the Fin deal pulls through, customers will "deploy AI agents across" various service operations, which will complement Agentforce, the platform that enables businesses to deploy customizable autonomous digital workers.
