- already using it.

#12 Posted by hardgiant on 21 Oct 2003 - 13:25
- Office 2003 pretty much rocks, some nice improvements over Office XP. The cost factor is probably not worth it if your using 2000 or 2002 though.
Wonder what Office 2004 will be like !

- Yeah wot is the final build number?
-
#13.1 Posted by nuclearcow on 21 Oct 2003 - 13:39
- Final build # is 5606 I believe
-
#13.2 Posted by Jugalator on 21 Oct 2003 - 13:53
- Hmm.. What was the build of the final that was leaked/warezed some weeks ago?
Was it really final? -
#13.4 Posted by CoolShady2002 on 21 Oct 2003 - 14:48
- When you receive an e-mail from someone using Outlook 2K3, the headers say 'Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510'. So my guess is that 5606 is some kind of minor build number.

#14 Posted by kiddingguy on 21 Oct 2003 - 13:48
- How long will Bill Gates be talking about Office 2003?
He's probably going to say:
"Lalala... It's great. Just buy and use it!"
Hmmmm.... like 5 sec.

- Is it me or is the prsentation lagging?
-
#20.1 Posted by gameguy on 21 Oct 2003 - 15:44
- it's not a broadcast signal, so each person viewing it has their own connection, using 56k or 100k or 300k of bandwidth. the server probably has more connections than it can handle so it slows all the streams. i'm currently viewing the 56k stream at 31k because it's the only one that will play without constantly buffering
-
#21 Posted by Tech001101 on 21 Oct 2003 - 15:44
- make sure you select the speed within your bandwidth connection or it will lag.
Is it me or does Bill Sound like Kermit the Frog?

#23 Posted by William on 21 Oct 2003 - 16:32
- Office 2003 and Windows 2003 are both already in stock at most retailers. We have about two hundred copies in lockup, just not allowed to sell until microsoft reps come by for official launch.

- What did you make of the London press launch? Would have been nice if they'd cut out at least *some* of the marketing junk for the press presentation... talking to the ms partners afterwards, the three presentations to partners/customers/press were identical. Nice to know Microsoft cares.....
Neowin will be covering the event from London at the press launch of Office System 2003. We aim to keep you up to date with everything and to provide you with a full review of the Office 2003 System at a later date. Stay tuned and don't forget to watch Bill :D
A pilot project for London boroughs, London Connections Warp (LCWarp) will be rolled out to local authorities nationwide in April. The scheme could then extend to the private sector through chambers of commerce, according to government adviser Jeremy Ward of security firm Symantec. The government is to fund the local authority Warps, but any private sector scheme would be financed through corporate sponsorship.
Mark Brett, LCWarp programme manager, said the Warp scheme meant alerts were likely to be taken more seriously. He added that early tests showed managers often responded to Warp advisories even though they had ignored previous warnings on the same matters from their own staff.
Linked to international warning bodies, including Cert, the Warp units will provide threat assessments and statistical data, and will identify trends and new vulnerabilities in an effort to stop attacks spreading.
Each unit's staff will be familiar with the needs of the community it serves, to ensure only relevant warnings are passed on to members. Warps could serve large individual organisations with many branches and customers, or focus on geographical areas, trade groups, or specific sectors, such as online banking customers.
Current government efforts rely on the Unified Incident Reporting and Alert Scheme (Uniras) run by the government's computer emergency response team.
But at present this system only offers threat data to government departments, agencies and - in some cases - suppliers, and critical national infrastructure organisations, such as emergency services and firms in the financial sector.
The London pilot team is working with Microsoft to develop an online reporting system, which is due to launch by Christmas.
