Outlook 2007 - A First Look
Later this year, the company that I work for will be upgrading to Vista/Office 2007. Earlier this year I produced a short video to show to my colleagues (we will be delivering the training), outlining the major differences between Outlook 2000 (the version currently used) and 2007.

Acrobat Connect Rocks (and so does Photoshop Express)
Tonight I attended an online presentation which was run by the North West Adobe User Group.
The excellent presentation covered 2 subjects - Adobe Acrobat Connect (an online collaboration and web conferencing tool) and Photoshop Express - a free online image editor (you also get 2GB of space to store your photos online when you sign up for a free Photoshop Express account). Photoshop Express is not meant as a replacement for the full Photoshop product, however, it has some cool features including a touchup tool, recolouring, red-eye removal and colour and sharpness enhancements.
The presentation itself was delivered via Connect and having used similar tools (Centra and Webex), I can say that Connect provides the best user experience by far.
