Just to prove that I don’t just rave about Mac’s and slag off Windows, this post is about Apple’s latest treat – The MacBook Air. Apple is back at doing what it does best. Marketing a product that isn’t that great, so well that you feel you can’t live without it (iPhone, iPod Touch).
I’ve decided to gloss over the good points in favour of the bad.

With the release of Microsoft Office 2008, its seems the blogosphere has been sent into a frenzy with reports of excited customers – why??
As you may already no, i’m not Mr Gate’s biggest fan, however I do have to applaud his Office suite – its simple and easy to use. That is Office 2003 and not the 2007 version. Like Vista the new release of Office didn’t get the approval that Bill thought it should receive. The reason (this stands for Vista aswell) is that they tried to simplify something by over complicating an issue. Case and point – the ribbon interface!
