Office Home And Stude/nt Microsoft launches new se

On July thirty,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, Microsoft began rolling out a new home web page for Reside Search and is also creating out there one more update to the test edition of its Reside Mesh collaboration/synchronization company.The new Reside Lookup homepage consists of track record rotating images with “interactive hotspots” embedded in those pictures that direct users to vertical search results related to that image.Microsoft is rolling out the new residence web page over the next 24 hours in the U.S., with other markets to follow “in the future.From a posting about the new household page on the Live Lookup team blog:“Our goal for the residence page is to find the best way to enhance users; sense of discovery, surprise, and delight while balancing engineering realities for a great user experience.“Extensive user research and exploration of many concepts with our customers pointed us in the direction for this design. We want the page to be a great place to start a search and also to intrigue and inform as well. We think hotspots will help users discover parts of Live Lookup they might not know while not distracting from the core purpose of the page — searching.“We think the new design is a great start, but there;s far more to come, with lots of interesting directions that we;ll be exploring in our next releases of the property web page.”(As LiveSide.Net noted recently, Microsoft also is working on a redesign of the MSN residence page.)Also about the Reside front, Microsoft is delivering some minor fixes towards the Reside Mesh tech preview build that it first introduced in April,Windows 7 Code/, said the company via an e-mail message that went to Live Mesh testers today.Among the new Live Mesh updates (delivered via Live Mesh software build 0.9.3103.9 and Reside Desktop build 0.9.3103.9) are: Improved peer-to-peer synchronization performanceA higher limit on the total number of customers now allowed to be part of the Tech Preview. No further waiting list in the U.S.,Office Home And Stude/nt, UK, Australia and New ZealandNo limit around the number of Reside Mesh invitations obtainable to Tech Preview participants in those same countries Microsoft is close to releasing the Mac client version of the Reside Mesh Tech Preview. On July 29, the company accidentally made reside the Web page notifying testers of the Mac client;s availability, but subsequently pulled the page down.When I asked yesterday about the availability of the Live Mesh Mac client,Office 2010 Standard, I received this answer from a Microsoft spokeswoman:“The download page that you reference below was inadvertently posted today, however as noted on the web page,Microsoft Office 2010 Standard, Mac support is a critical piece of the Reside Mesh company and the team continues to make progress in delivering that functionality. There is minimal support now, but we are not sharing further details on Mac support at this time.”There;s still no word on when/if Microsoft is going to rebrand Reside Search. In my view, until it does, the company can make all the changes in the world to the property web page but it won;t matter, as many (I;d say most) potential users still have no idea that Microsoft;s dedicated lookup site is www.reside.com.
