Microsoft has perfected the Microsoft Office Suite with a variety of great applications like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. These applications have become staples in the lives of students, employees, and homeowners all over the world.

Overtime Microsoft has managed to slip some newer applications like Groove, InfoPath, and One Note into the mix. OneNote has managed to stand out as one of the more popular applications, but many people still may not know what it is about.

Defining OneNote 9

OneNote 9 has been described as a free-form information gathering tool. Was this equates to is a program that allows users to gather up all of their notes from a variety of different sources. Most people are using the program to copy things from the internet, but that is only scratching the surface. OneNote allows users to copy handwritten text, clippings, and pictures into this program. The program automatically saves the content as it is added.

Who Uses OneNote 9?

The program has not become a standard in the workplace, but many employees are finding it helpful for certain tasks. People that travel and have business meetings can actually layout the details of their trip thanks to the multiple tabs. This application is also helpful for writers that may need to divide content between chapters for a novel that is in the making. The program is particularly helpful for anyone that needs to constantly switch back and forth between documents.

People that have been accustomed to Microsoft Word will probably shy away from the OneNote program in the beginning. In time, however, many users will see the added benefit that comes with using one note. Cooks, for example, will find that it is much easier to keep recipes and organize them with OneNote. Teachers may also use the OneNote program to organize their lesson plans.

Can Windows Phone 7 Apps Compete?

Microsoft Windows new Phone 7 is the talk of the town these days. With so many competitors’ smart phones already on the market, Microsoft is trying hard to get their share of the action. It’s pretty obvious from all the hype in the media that this smart phone is quite an amazing piece of technology. Yet, when we compare it to the standards set by competitors like the iPhone 4 and Android, it’s apparent that much of the success (or failure) of a new smart phone is dependent on the power of its applications.

A common question being asked is, “What applications are pre-installed on the Windows phone 7?” It does come pre-loaded with basics like email, calendar, and an internet browser, and social networking app tiles that update automatically on your home screen, so Twitter and Facebook are never far away.

A great advantage to this new Microsoft product is its easy organization. No getting lost in a miscellaneous grid scheme. The Windows Phone 7, much like the HTC Mozart – will organize applications into their respective ‘hub’ locations. Microsoft expects this will make applications easier to locate, with photo applications in the photo hub, music applications in the music hub and favorites on the home screen, for example.

The Microsoft Marketplace has promised to do its best to categorize the store for straightforward browsing and will be making new applications prominent on a regular basis to keep you up to date. Although they already have just around 4000 apps available, they have an uphill battle ahead of them to stay in the apps frenzy. Compared to 300,000 apps for the iPhone 4 and about 100,000 for Android, the Windows 7 Phone marketplace has some catching up to do. To their credit, Microsoft is encouraging growth by providing free application development tools to anyone wanting to develop an app for their marketplace, so they may get there sooner than you think.

While Microsoft is known primarily for its popular Office Software Suites, they are also top notch in gaming; therefore we can’t ignore the gaming factor for these phones. Xbox games and even more importantly Xbox live games are available on these new mobile marvels, which is something none of the other smart phones can claim at this point. This provides the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 with a distinct edge.

Although Microsoft and its Windows Phone 7 devices have some work to do to catch up in the apps markets, they are definitely not backing down. With visual and organizational features like hubs for easy app location, automatic social network updating, and the Xbox live games, they are only going to gain ground, which means they stand a real chance at being a key player in the race to the best smart phone.…

How the Drudgery of the Numbers Will Make You Free

Numbers are symbols, very much like words, with their own intrinsic simple meanings when they stand alone. When in context with other numbers they become far more complex and meaningful. What is often not realized is the extent to which insights can be made regarding the ins and outs of you business by having insight into the accounting details of your business.

In business, numbers are the symbols by which you measure the various activities of an individual enterprise or combination of enterprises which make up the parent corporation. When you add and subtract all the numbers, you come up with the well- known ‘bottom line’: the profit or loss that your business is making on your profit-and-loss statement. That’s very simple, but to establish whether you did better or worse you need to look at the figures in “relative” terms.

If your business shows a profit of $10 million for the year, is that good or not so good? That depends upon the context of that $10 million. Did you earn $8 million or $12 million the year before? Did you earn $10 million on sales of $40 million or $400 million? Your insight is now increased by relating the numbers to other numbers.

The meaning of numbers, like that of words, can only be comprehended in relationship to one another. When I read sets of numbers, you should always translate them into meaningful percentage differences. Thus, if $100 million in sales dropped by $10 million, I know that sales dropped 10 per cent. If $50,000 in sales of another division decreased by $10,000, it tells me the drop was 20 per cent. Even though this division lost less money than the first, I immediately recognize that it is probably in deeper trouble than the division that lost $10 million in sales.

I can therefore identify the areas of the business needing more attention. The figures tell me that I had better look behind those numbers and find out what is happening there.

The numbers are not the business; they are only pictures of the business, but most people think of accounting as providing dry data that is dry and boring. They do not realize that if you become literate in the language of accounting you can be set free by getting an in-depth picture of the organization and this carries the secret of management information used to proactively manage your business.

The difference between well-managed companies and badly run companies is the degree of attention they pay to the numbers and how well they are capable of interpreting the numbers and how effectively they can predict how to apply the available resources.

Make sure you know the vocabulary of accounting to the extent that you can read them like a book. You will then get freedom though the numbers.
