PostHeaderIcon A Quick Guide For Microsoft Office 2010 Installation



System requirements of office 2003 and Office 2007 has a huge gap, so by keeping this fact in consideration Microsoft launched a new version of Office that does not contains the overhead of upgrading of computers by the users. Microsoft Office 2010 requires no upgradation and makes the user comfortable with their work. The main system requirements are 1.5 GB hard disk space, operating systems-windows vista, windows 7, windows server 2008 R2(64 bit), and windows XP(32 bit). It requires a graphic processor with 64 MB of memory and supports DirectX 9.0c.

There are many new features available in Office 2010 that brings a lot of change to your working lifestyle. Now you can publish your document as an article or blog because there are settings available for Blogger, TypePad, Word Press, Live space etc. PowerPoint provides the option of saving the documents on a CD or save a video presentation. PowerPoint also provides the facility of video editing with the effects of 3D, reflection, frame, shadow etc. So it will be very beneficial working in such an environment where you will get so many newly added tools without doing any configuration of your system.

If you want to work both in Office 2007 and Office 2010 then it requires installation of Office 2010 in different directory or folder to prevent overwriting of files of Office 2007. When you start the setup a blue screen comes on the screen asking for the preferred installation you want. If you want to run both versions of Office then choose ‘customize’ option, otherwise use ‘upgrade’ option. If you choose the ‘customize’ option then in the next screen it will be asked to provide another installation path for Office 2010. Select the path according to your choice and installation starts. There is another option for keeping both the versions together. You have to download a window installer patch setup customization file. This file has already been configured to keep and retain old office applications. All you have to do is to download the config.MSP file and copy it to the folder containing setup.exe and other installation files for Office 2010. After that you have to run a command ‘SETUP/adminfile config.MSP’ and you will have both the versions working together.

It must be noticed that although you can use both the versions of Office but the default program for presentations, spreadsheets will be Office 2010 so you have to change manually by going to control panel if you wants opening of documents with Office 2007. Also, Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 cannot co exist at the same time because only version of Outlook works at any time so you have to work on Outlook 2010.

PostHeaderIcon Do Not Worry About the Future – Innovation and Technology Will Solve Those Issues



We are told that Global Warming will drown Earth Civilizations and that within 150-years mankind’s emissions of green house gasses will be the cause. We are told that we will drive off a “climate cliff” so of course, we “must” act now; who says? Ice Ages come and go, so do mini-ice-ages, and within 150-years we will be able to control such things with our technology.

If global warming is a long-term problem, then we should not jump to conclusions and destroy our economic base or our industrial capacity, simply due to fear mongering propaganda by those that wish to transfer wealth and power from the current energy industry leaders, and put that power into their own pockets under the guise of alternative energy and saving the earth.

You must realize that the Earth has gone through cycles over the last 5.5 billion years. These cycles will come and go with or without humans. And if humans were to leave tomorrow the cycles would continue regardless. We don’t have to worry about the future, we need to worry about the present, the human race is quite capable of coming up with new innovations and technologies to solve all of their problems.

What we must be very careful in doing is not to pretend a theoretical fallacy or some doom-and-gloom scenario, which doesn’t exist in order to push us to do the right thing. We all know that polluting our water and air is a dumb thing to do, so we should mitigate our pollution simply for that reason. And we should not reward those who have purported the insanity of the global warming scenario with our scientific funding, stimulus monies, taxpayer’s dollars, were turned over our civilization to them.

Although, the solution is not completely simple, it isn’t that difficult either. Those old fossil fuels which everyone criticizes can be used and we can promote a smooth transition using current technologies, and new technologies that we create in the next 10 years. We can burn coal for energy, which currently makes up over 60% of the energy we use in the United States, and we can burn it clean, while still allowing alternative energy to advance without bringing unproven technologies into our energy infrastructure.

We should not worry about the future, we should not assume incredible rises in sea level, and we should not destroy all that we’ve built or our stability economically on a wild fantasy. Indeed, I hope you will please consider this.
