Chart Advisor is a prototype Excel Add-In that appears as a button on the Insert ribbon next to the standard charting tools. It attempts to automate the process of chart generation by using an advanced rules engine to scan your data for properties that inherently make good charts. It will generate some charts, rank them, and display the set as thumbnails in a new dialog. From this dialog you can manipulate the charts by changing how the data is mapped and filter out data from the chart. When done, you can insert the chart back into the spreadsheet.

Microsoft has released the first full release of Photosynth. -- Photosynth takes a collection of regular photographs and reconstructs the scene or object in a 3-D environment. For those of you who have seen the videos or tried Microsoft's tech preview, you could experience synths that they made in their lab and get a feel for what Photosynth is and how it works. But now, for the first time ever you can create synths from your own pictures and share them with your friends.
Ready to Make Your Own Synth? This first version of Photosynth has some limitations that you need to be aware of:
- All synths are uploaded. They're big, so you need to use a broadband Internet connection.
- All synths are public. Your photos will be visible to everyone on the Internet.
- Like the viewing experience, the "synther" only runs on PCs (XP and Vista).

- FIX: Under certain conditions, progress monitoring would continue even when the migration was finished or cancelled

Because people bring their "expectations" from one website to another! People will look at YOUR website and wonder why it's not as "good" as the "NBC Olympics" Website
Is it fair for your website to be compared with a website designed by a staff that's probably much bigger than yours? Nope!
But that doesn't matter -- people bring their "expectations" from one website to another! August 06
