Microsoft slings out Office 2010 technical preview

David

XPx64 users want to know..

Will Office 10's x64 edition be only available for Vista x64 or will it run on XPx64 as well?

Is Office 2010 "Web Access" available as a server product that shops can install themselves or is it a service hosted by Microsoft with some kind of subscription fee?

Finally, I'm assuming this means there'll be a x64 version of Access. Does this mean we'll finally get a x64 driver for JET?

Thank the gods!

Huzzah!

...although the cynic in me suggests this is just a cost-cutting move in the face the recession.

Nothing new...

Several high-end Toshiba laptops from early 2004 featured (monochrome) displays built-in to their touchpads/

Keyhole, anyone?

Keyhole (from which Google Earth is derived) uses a similar concept: it scales up a low-resolution globe surface tile until it can download and render higher resolution data... and this dates back to the early 00s. As for "smooth scrolling" itself Internet Explorer has had this as a feature since 1998 in IE4.0 (although that's x/y scrolling, not z-axis).
