I often send projects out for review too, I normally turn on track changes before I send the files, in case the recipient doesn’t know how to do it.

Yes, this is one of the examples of not using your tools too the fullest extend! I have ExamDiff since 3 years but never assumed it could do anything but flat file formats but apparently it also does Excel, zip archives, PDF (probably only non-graphic) and PPT, though I never tried those.

Welcome back, Susanne. This looks very useful. I use MS Word’s compare function rather often, but it sometimes drives me nuts for the very reasons you cite.

Great tip, thanks Susanne. Think I’ll give it a whirl, I can think of a couple of contexts in which it would be useful.

Ryan - I think I mentioned that it is just a flavor of Linux, I am just curious if the average user trusts Google enough to finally give Linux a try. Linux itself - not even Ubuntu - managed to pull much. The Google name may actually finally get those in that always found it “too geeky”.
Wired just posted a list of hardware partnerships: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/google-faq-reveals-chrome-os-hardware-partners which shows a few non-netbook partners.

Well, technically speaking Google’s OS is just a flavor of Linux that boots straight into Google’s Chrome browser (which itself is a new coat of paint on another open-source browser).

That said, I think that Google’s work to take away the low-end of the hardware continuum from Microsoft is very clever. Even though netbooks are a tiny market now, I think that they’ve got huge potential. Remember that back in the mainframe days, people laughed at those pitiful “microcomputers” as toys…

No, you aren’t being a fan girl. Google does a very good job at just about everything they do. Kind of like Microsoft did back in the day… I myself rely heavily on Google Calendar because I can look up my schedule from any computer instead of having to pull out my PalmPilot, which most likely hasn’t been updated in months anyway.
