I always look forward to the new Microsoft Office releases; I look for those cool new features that will make my work life easier or my presentations cooler.  Wow ok I guess I am a bit of a nerd but I also look forward to football season and UFC fights as well!

Debra Shinder did an article for Techrepublic, I assume she was one of the privileged few with access to the alpha testing of Office 2010 and she has some screen captures and a list of her top 10 favorite new features.  Make sure you check out the deleting conversations in Outlook and the linking to documents in OneNote.  I always thought OneNote was a joke and not very useful but lately I have found some really good applications for the tool and I’m really looking forward to it seeing some love from Microsoft for OneNote in 2010. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=900&tag=nl.e103
