The second beta of Office 11 looks like it will be ready next month, and you might expect Microsoft to rename it Office 2003 after that beta is released. Beta 2 should be more of an enterprise-ready release and will pack the OneNote note-taking application and InfoPath tool for creating and sharing XML-based forms. The finished product is slated for a late summer release.

"Penguinistas" to protest MS speaker at open-source event (IDG)
Microsoft could get away with a booth at LinuxWorld, but having one of its people speak at an open-source conference next month in Washington, D.C. is evidently a little too much. Penguinistas plan to protest Microsoft's presence at the conference, which is supposed to promote open-source and free software to governments. An MS official will be there to talk about the company's "shared source" initiative.

KNOW-IT-ALL ADMIN QUIZ #19
Shortcut to anywhere
Despite Win2k's graphical shell, there are many administrators who are more comfortable with a command line. They would rather bang a few keys to get their favorite programs to come up, rather than navigate through a nest of menus and submenus. The easiest way to accomplish this is to:
a. Place shortcuts to your favorite executables on your desktop
b. Edit your process configurations in the task manager
c. Store commonly used program paths in the registry
d. Configure Windows "hotkeys" in the Control Panel
e. Cut through the corner gas station

Political tensions eating into cheese biz
![]()
Keep your Camembert! Forget your "fromage." Viva Velveeta! Those are the sentiments an e-cheese exporter in France has been seeing from U.S. customers. Marc Refabert, the big cheese at Fromages.fr, says his brie is in a bind because customers on the other side of the Atlantic are unhappy that France does not support Washington when it comes to Iraq. Customers are saying they just can't support France in any way -- so please, no cheese. Refabert said he understands that American customers are just being patriotic, and he thinks they'll be back soon -- because French cheese is too tasty.
