Microsoft Office takes to the web

By Maggie Shiels Technology reporter, BBC News, Silicon Valley

Office 2010 will enhance video and picture capabilities in PowerPoint
Microsoft has launched its latest salvo at Google with a free web-based version of its dominant Office software.
Office 2010 will include lightweight versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote when it ships next year.
The new web offering will compete with Google's free online Docs suite launched three years ago.
Last week Google took aim at Windows with news of a free operating system while in June Microsoft introduced a new search engine called Bing.
"We believe the web has a lot to offer in terms of connectivity," Microsoft's group product manager for Office told the BBC.
"We have over a half a billion customers world-wide and what we hear from them is that they really want the power of the web without compromise. They want collaboration without compromise.
"And what they tell us today is that going to the web often means they sacrifice fidelity, functionality and the quality of the content they care about. We knew that if and when we were ever going to bring applications into a web environment, we needed to do the hard work first because we hold such a high bar," said Mr Bryant.
Microsoft said that 400 million customers who are Windows Live consumers will have access to the Office web applications at no cost.
At a conference for business partners in New Orleans, Microsoft announced an early release of web-apps to thousands of testers later this year.
At the end of the year the company expects to release a proper public beta for the software and ship a final version off to PC makers in the first half of 2010.
'Conversion'
Analysts have mostly given the thumbs up to Microsoft for moving some of its applications to the web, even if it might cost them dearly.

Excel spreadsheets can now run in the browser
The Wall Street Journal has estimated that offering free online software could "put at risk as much at $4bn (£2.46bn) in revenue".
One analyst told the paper that despite such losses, it could be a canny move.
"Making sure people are still using Microsoft products is more important" in the short term than risking revenue, explained Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.
"They need to keep people using Office," he said.
"Microsoft is finally making the conversion through the web-based world. First, we saw that through Bing. Now we are seeing that through Office, " said Jeffries & Co analyst Katherine Egbert.
"The software giant has woken up, " wrote Emil Protalinksi of online blog Arcs Technica.
"It is promising to know that such a traditional software company is responding to the 'threat of the cloud' to its core business by embracing it."
Investors appeared to like Microsoft's move and boosted shares by almost 3.8% higher to close at $23.23 (£14.33).
Rivalry
Microsoft's announcement is being seen as the latest move in a tit-for-tat rivalry between two tech giants as it and Google increasingly make efforts to encroach on one another's turf.
When Google announced its Chrome operating system last week, the blogosphere watched and waited for Microsoft to react.

Chrome OS is seen as a direct challenge to market leader Windows
Mr Bryant stuck to the company line when he spoke to BBC News.
"I haven't seen the product. I think it's not a trivial engineering investment to go and build an operating system," he said. "Of course it is interesting and there is a lot of talk but until we see the product, it's hard to say what kind of impact it will have.
"We can't afford to get wrapped up in hype or buzz or noise because really our customers depend on us every single day."
Microsoft's business software division, which includes Office, made $9.3 bn (£5.74bn) in profit from $14.3 bn(£8.82bn) in sales during the first three-quarters of its 2009 fiscal year.

The current state and future of C++ By Justin James, TechRepublic | 2009/07/02 09:44:00

TechRepublic member Oleg F (an experienced C++ developer) asked for my thoughts on the "present and future" of C++. In addition, he wanted information on how C++ fits into the .NET universe, web development, and cloud computing. Below is my response.

I believe the days of C++ as a general purpose programming language are quickly ending for most developers. There are still lots of great uses for C++, particularly for OS-level work, low-level work (embedded devices, device drivers, etc), certain high-performance applications, and applications where the overhead of a system like .NET or Java would be too heavy (like an office suite). Some developers will continue to use C++ for applications that other, less complex languages can handle as well. But for the typical developer, C++ is a big headache for minimal gain.

The performance issues that most developers face are not the kinds of issues that moving to native code will resolve; once you take performance out of the equation, C++ is a fairly unattractive option for application development in most cases.

The handful of C++ developers that I’ve talked to say using C++ in the .NET managed environment is not particularly attractive to them; this takes away much of the opportunity to use it in a web development capacity, unless you want to use it in the CGI model. There are good things about CGI (less overhead, simple conceptual model) and bad things about CGI (your application has to be “aware” of many more low-level tasks). From what I’ve heard, under the .NET CLR, C++ loses its speed, as well as many of the things that make C++ useful.

This is not to say that C++ is going away any time soon. I see C++ joining the ranks of COBOL and FORTRAN as a legacy language with a massive installation base and a need for people to maintain/extend existing applications for more than 50 years. In addition, a number of new development projects will be started in it for a variety of reasons (familiarity, library support, tradition/habit, cultural, etc). I also suspect that it will pick up a reputation as a “dead” language (again, like COBOL), due more to a lack of buzz and hype than actual non-usage (also like COBOL).

I don’t want to make the future for C++ sound dismal; if anything, I think there is great potential for C++ developers to do quite nicely for themselves. If you’re a C++ developer, I suggest that you stick with the language. Are the things you’re working on flashy or get the same attention as web applications in the mainstream publications? No. But with the current salary structures, I feel that experienced C++ developers will see very nice pay cheques for some time. In addition, as the remaining C++ work is of higher difficulty and fewer people learn C++ (it isn’t taught as frequently in colleges these days), I expect C++ developers to have more job security and better compensation than .NET or Java developers over the long run.

While C++ in web development is not likely to become mainstream any time soon and desktop application development in C++ becomes less common, I think there is a lot of upside opportunity for C++ in certain aspects of cloud computing. For some projects (think of ones that are well suited to supercomputers), the cloud offers C++ developers a way to get the same benefits of grid computing but with much more flexibility. There is a lot of overlap between those projects and the kinds of projects for which developers regularly use C++. As a result, I think cloud computing will replace or supplement grids and supercomputers in many projects and will provide an excellent opportunity to see C++ used in new and innovative ways.

Keep in mind that much of this analysis is focused on the Windows world. From what I see, the *Nix development community is still very C/C++ orientated. C++ developers who are concerned about dwindling opportunities in Windows should definitely take a look at *Nix development.

I believe that C++ will slowly fade into the background, but it will neither die nor will it ever become unimportant. While most developers I know have never touched C++ in a real-world environment, many developers would benefit from learning it, if only to gain some appreciation of various languages, including Java, .NET and Ruby.

Planning to publish A Small Newsletter/IGITian Patrika---IGITian Hip...Hip...hu re....

Together we Stand ,Together Grow !!

Hello Igitian,
For some life is tedious and for some tedious is life. Why don’t we think out of the box to make our simple life to an extraordinary one?
Foolish idea uh? But I want to give a try on this and I need your support to make either completely waste or bang into a huge success.
This is simple, but what’s hidden behind my idea???
Just Communication with each other and nothing else; I am sure this is going to make a big difference in our lives. Let’s have fun guys !!!!!!!!
This is a Memorandum, so called a newsletter (professionally boring word, I used to ignore this, but you guys please don’t do it now)
Gossip, rumor, hearsay are synonyms and is important. Please share your professional achievements (if at all any), travel plans (Only to Uganda), research interests (Not Google), and special events (boozing parties though).
Any item that is beneficial to the members of the IGITian (MCA2003) community will be included.
I'm conducting a little experiment -- I'd like to know what you think about IGITianpatrika . I'm curious to hear your reactions to this. (With my helmet on)
Here's your likelihood to carve up now.Two simple questions to this poll:1. Like it, or dislike it? Why? (I hate people who say dislike)2. Can you provide any other suggestion to get together virtually?

Cheers
Budhia
