There will be a free version of Microsoft Office 2010

-
Microsoft has confirmed that a free version of Office 2010 will be avaiable comprising off only Excel and Word. This will most likely get rid of the dread Works software which is included "free" with a lot of computers but frankly, isn't worth a cent. This is a great way for Microsoft to up-sell consumers to get extras such as Powerpoint and Publisher, although it is unclear whether these can be added a-la-carte meaning that you may or may not be able to purchase individual programs for a set price.

It is clear that you will not be getting 100% of the features of Word and Excel in the free version but most features will be there. Fonts, font sizes, bold, italics, aligning, underlining, images, etc should be all there. More advanced features such as word count may be disabled to upsell you to more expensive versions of Office.

Will a free version of Office 2010 be available for Mac?
This still remains to be seen but there is no reason why this wouldn't be done as it is essentially a stripped down version of the Office suite.

Will the web version of Office 2010 be free?
Most liekly yes and with more expensive versions you'll get access to more online apps - so you would just get Word and Excel, but more expensive versions would give you access to Publisher and Powerpoint.

A post reminiscing about the Walt Disney World International College Program

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it. I had already done one set of working for Disney back in 2011 at Disneyland Paris and I suppose to some extent I expected my ICP to be very similar, but longer. I was prepared for more heat, for more guests and (hopefully!) less of a language barrier in the US. This all proved true - sure Florida was hotter than Paris, yes the Magic Kingdom is the world’s busiest theme park and yes (for the most part) I didn’t have to tra

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
