2007 Microsoft Office suites

Office 2007可谓版本繁多,除了Basic 2007(仅提供给OEM厂商),Home and Student 2007(149$),Standard 2007(399$),Small Business 2007(449$),Professional 2007(499$)和Ultimate 2007(679$)外,还有针对企业的Enterprise 2007,其中Enterprise 2007包括Professional Plus 2007 和 Groove 2007 以及 OneNote 2007。

Office Enterprise 2007 is the most complete Microsoft toolset provided for people who must collaborate with others and work with information efficiently, regardless of location or network status. Office Enterprise 2007 builds on the strengths of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 with the addition of Microsoft Office Groove 2007 and Microsoft Office OneNote 2007, enabling people to collaborate and create, manage, and use information more efficiently, so they can deliver better results faster.

在linux下安装cost

在ubuntu 6.10下安装tcl的一个工具包cost,在configure时报错:

checking for tclConfig.sh... Not found.

找遍整个电脑都没有这个文件。后来google了一下才知道,原来要安装了tcl8.4-dev这个包才能有这个文件
/usr/lib/tcl8.4/tclConfig.sh
执行 apt-get install tcl8.4-dev 之后再安装就没有问题了。

开始使用windows vista了

在gepc183上装上windows vista Business了,Intel 3.O GHz 双核CPU,1G的DDR内存,就是显卡差些,是Intel G945主板自带的。安装很简单,不到一个小时就完成了。vista下已经没有boot.ini了,另外配置也大多写在xml文件里,不再是各式各样的txt文件了。连日志文件都用xml文件。

现在正在看MCSA/MCSE的Exam 70-270的Training Kit,学到一些以前不知道的东西。只是不知道是不是现在考"Installing , Configurring and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Prosessional"会不会有些过时了,因为Vista都推出来了,win xp被淘汰只是迟早的事了。

10 Things You Need to Know about Deploying Windows Vista

Tools You Need; Tools to Forget

Here’s a rundown of the tools you’ll be using when you roll out Windows Vista, followed by a list of the tools you can retire for good once Windows Vista arrives.

USE THESE:

  • SYSPREP This is the updated version, modified for Windows Vista.
  • SETUP A new installation tool for Windows Vista, replaces WINNT and WINNT32.
  • IMAGEX The new command-line tool for creating WIM images.
  • Windows System Image Manager A tool for creating and modifying unattend.xml files.
  • PEIMG The tool for customizing Windows PE 2.0 images.
  • Windows Deployment Services The new version of RIS, which adds the ability to deploy Windows Vista and Windows XP images, as well as Windows PE 2.0 boot images.
  • PNPUTIL This is the new tool for adding and removing drivers from the Windows Vista driver store.
  • PKGMGR Also new, this Windows Vista tool is used for servicing the operating system.
  • OCSETUP This replaces SYSOCMGR and is used for installing Windows components.
  • BCDEDIT A new Windows Vista tool for editing boot configuration data.
  • Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0 This updated tool lets you assess whether your applications are compatible with Windows Vista.
  • User State Migration Tool 3.0 An updated tool for capturing and restoring user state, supports Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as all versions of Office including 2007.
  • BitLocker The full-volume drive encryption capability included in Windows Vista Enterprise and Ultimate editions.

FORGET THESE:

  • Remote Installation Services RIS has been replaced by Windows Deployment Services (WDS) but still offers legacy support on Windows Server 2003; RIPREP and RISETUP are not possible with Windows Vista.
  • Setup Manager/Notepad Use Windows System Image Manager instead for editing unattended setup configuration files.
  • WINNT.EXE and WINNT32.EXE Use SETUP instead.
  • SYSOCMGR Replaced by OCSETUP, PKGMGR.
  • MS-DOS Boot Floppies Forget them. Use Windows PE!

参加MLP的Seminar

昨天参加了由MLP组织的一个关于如何准备申请材料和参加面试以及如何应对Assessment-Center的活动。参加的人并不多12个,规模到很像一个实际参加Assessment-Center的人数。大家虽然没有作自我介绍,但是还是看得出连同我在内有4,5位外国人,不过其他几位显然来自东欧和俄罗斯国家。虽然在此之前已经阅读过相关的材料,但是前面的理论部分还是很有价值的,因为它比较有条理的列出了一些原则和通常的做法。其中提到一条,申请者要多创造机会和对方的负责人有直接的联系,比如面试之前打电话,或者申请材料寄出去最迟3周后还没有收到回复,应该直接打电话给对方,千万不要不好意思,放不开。另外若对方电话里回答一周后再给回复,此时抓住机会在电话里尽可能和对方约好,若一周后没有收到回复,再次打电话给对方。虽然就业形势不好,申请者也不应该过于谨慎,带着一种类似“乞讨”等待企业施舍的心态去参加面试。申请者和企业双方都满意才是最佳的结果。(这一点对于条件比较好的申请者应该更有用)后来的Assessment-Center实战感觉比较差,在智力题测试中不及来自东欧(猜测),小组讨论更不及几位德国同学(后来聊天才知道,两位都是学法律的,已经通过第二次国家考试了)。

活动结束后对自己在Assessment-Center中的表现实在是不满意。这对于在大公司申请非常不利,因为Assessment-Center在大企业里已经是一种常见的筛选申请者的方法。在智力题测试时,题目是主持者口头念出来的,总感觉不能跟上,没能弄清题目的描述,就仅仅听清问题,问题就结束了。听力还是不够好,另外注意力集中不够!
