In Issue 41 of Windows: The Official Magazine there was a feature on Microsoft Office 2010 beta, which you can download for free and try until October this year. Unfortunately, there’s a number 0 in the link which looks very much like an O, so some of our readers have been typing this in instead and being taken to a dead link . The actual page you need to go to is http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx.

Postive votes help to push posts up the rankings in lists of content, ensuring that the posts that have been most enjoyed by the community naturally get the highest exposure so they can be more easily found by other users. Author’s of articles that have received a lot of positive votes in the past also gain more influence within the site, and their new posts are ranked more highly automatically.
If you feel that an article is of particularly low quality, you can also mark your displeasure by clicking on the negative voting button (the down arrow icon). Although the negative vote count is never displayed, and is not directly used in ranking, by showing which articles you feel are of particularly low quality, you can help the system to automatically optimize personal lists of content displayed to you. Negative voting may also slightly reduce the influence of the post’s author within the site if you have previously voted positively on other posts they have created.
RSS provides you with a way to add our news and features headlines to your personal homepages. For example, in less than a minute, you can add any of our news and features headline feeds to your personalized Google homepage, your Yahoo homepage, or a dedicated newsreader system such as newsgator or bloglines.
If you are using Internet Explorer 7, you can click on RSS feeds symbol in the Web browser toolbar to view the feed, and then click the Add to Favorites button to get subscription options.
Otherwise, simply copy the URL of the feed from your Web browser address bar, and use that to add the feed to your service such as Windows Live or Google.
