Microsoft has announced the product lineup for the new Office version for Mac users. Office 2008 for Mac will include Word 2008, Excel 2008, Powerpoint 2008 and Entourage 2008.
There will be 3 versions of office available namely: - Office 2008 for Mac - Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition which will include Microsoft Expression Media - Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition which is a basic version which does not include support for Exchange connectivity.
The retail prices in the US for these three products are US$399, $499 and $149 respectively.
Citrix have also been working hard on developing a new ICA client. This new client is currently in beta stage and has the following features:
Universal Binary Client – Seamless Windows – Ah! Finally. I guess I don’ have to explain what this feature is
Session Sharing – Multiple application sessions from a user can share the same session. This means faster application launch times for subsequent applications.
Improved file transfer speeds (at least twice as fast as before). You will see a big difference when you transfer files over a high latency link
Session Reliability – This will let users reconnect automatically to the application(s) when connection is lost without displaying annoying dialogs
Pass-through authentication - This is now enabled using Kerberos (the local machine and the PS environment should be set up to enable Kerberos)
SpeedScreen image acceleration – This helps improve user experience when viewing web pages that have images etc.
SpeedScreen Progressive Display – This is a cool feature introduced in PS 4.5 that dramatically improves (provides a local experience) when accessing 2-D applications etc
SecureICA – This is not a new feature but we dropped it in the last client release and are introducing back due to strong customer request. Though Citrix strongly recommends using SSL for the ICA encryption needs, customers still use and like the simplicity of SecureICA and hence this support will be maintained for a while.
Printing enhancements – Any printer available to local Mac application will be available for PS delivered applications. Users can also pick and choose their printer (not just relying on their default printer) and can change page sizes, layouts etc
Kayboard Pass-through – This will give the user an option of using Mac specific keyboard shortcuts that can be applied to the ICA Client itself (without passing it to the server application)

I have been noticed that a lot of wow power leveling comments are pure spam. This of course is not wanted and I have decided that from now on only registerd users can write comments. So if you want to write a comment wow powerleveling and are not registerd yet you have to register. We won't use your email or other stuf for commercial purposes. The main reason we have changed the setting is to get rid of the spam bots that post massive wow goldcomments with all kind of links and unwanted stuf in the comments. I hope you power leveling understand this action cause we are a bit sick of those people who ruine a good post with all kinds of comments.
