				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Since we first <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/translate-your-website-with-google.html">launched</a> the Website Translator plugin back in September 2009, more than a million websites have added the plugin. While we’ve kept improving our machine translation system since then, we may not reach perfection until someone invents <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-complete">full-blown Artificial Intelligence</a>. In other words, you’ll still sometimes run into translations we didn’t get quite right. <br /><br />So today, we’re launching a new experimental feature (in beta) that lets you customize and improve the way the <a href="http://translate.google.com/manager/website/">Website Translator</a> translates your site. Once you add the customization meta tag to a webpage, visitors will see your customized translations whenever they translate the page, even when they use the translation feature in <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en-GB/more/features.html">Chrome</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/toolbar/ie/index.html">Google Toolbar</a>. They’ll also now be able to '<a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/suggest-better-translation.html">suggest a better translation</a>' when they notice a translation that’s not quite right, and later you can accept and use that suggestion on your site.  <br /><b><br /></b><b>To get started:</b><br /><ol><li>Add the <a href="http://translate.google.com/manager/website/">Website Translator</a> plugin and customization meta tag to your website</li><li>Then translate a page into one of 60+ languages using the Website Translator</li></ol><b>To tweak a translation:</b><br /><ol><li>Hover over a translated sentence to display the original text</li><li>Click on 'Contribute a better translation'</li><li>And finally, click on a phrase to choose an automatic <a href="http://googletranslate.blogspot.com/2010/12/when-one-translation-just-isnt-enough.html">alternative translation</a> -- or just double-click to edit the translation directly.</li></ol>For example, if you’re translating your site into Spanish, and you want to translate <i>Cat</i> not to <i>gato</i> but to <i>Cat</i>, you can tweak it as follows:<br /><br /><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K4nqOYA2O2k/T8aoGC8NAmI/AAAAAAAAArk/KcFc7A8vC10/s1600/BlogPostExample.jpg" /><br /><br />If you’re signed in, the corrections made on your site will go live right away -- the next time a visitor translates a page on your website, they’ll see your correction.  If one of your visitors contributes a better translation, the suggestion will wait until you approve it.  You can also invite other editors to make corrections and add translation glossary entries. You can learn more about these new features in the <a href="http://support.google.com/translate/#2534535">Help Center</a>. <br /><br />This new experimental feature is currently free of charge.  We hope this feature, along with <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/translating-worlds-information-with.html">Translator Toolkit</a> and the <a href="https://developers.google.com/translate/">Translate API</a>, can provide a low cost way to expand your reach globally and help to break down language barriers. <br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Jeff Chin, Product Manager, Google Translate</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4388769677942023126-6832245842348095754?l=googletranslate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<i>(Cross-posted from the <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/say-hello-or-ola-or-halo-or-salam-to.html">Official Gmail Blog</a>)</i><p />We're excited to announce three Gmail Labs graduations today: Automatic Message Translation, Smart Mute and Title Tweaks. <p /><b>Automatic Message Translation</b><br />Did you ever dream about a future where your communications device could transcend language with ease? Well, that day is a lot closer. Back when we launched <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-in-labs-automatic-message.html">automatic message translation in Gmail Labs</a>, we were curious to see how people would use it. <p />We heard immediately from Google Apps for Business users that this was a killer feature for working with local teams across the world. Some people just wanted to easily read newsletters from abroad. Another person wrote in telling us how he set up his mom’s Gmail to translate everything into her native language, thus saving countless explanatory phone calls (he thanked us profusely). I continue to use it to participate in discussions with the global Google offices I often visit. <p />Since message translation was one of the most popular labs, we decided it was time to graduate from Gmail Labs and move into the real world. Over the next few days, everyone who uses Gmail will be getting the convenience of translation added to their email.  The next time you receive a message in a language other than your own, just click on <b>Translate message</b> in the header at the top of the message, <p /><center><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w7uoAq4xA74/T58vbhv8MEI/AAAAAAAAAwY/aNPmYNKhLkU/s1600/GmailTranslate0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" width="500" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w7uoAq4xA74/T58vbhv8MEI/AAAAAAAAAwY/aNPmYNKhLkU/s1600/GmailTranslate0.jpg" /></a></center><p />and it will be instantly translated into your language: <p /><center><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MokUzeBIFII/T58vb7gvzKI/AAAAAAAAAwk/Ns39ygKW90I/s1600/GmailTranslate1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" width="500" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MokUzeBIFII/T58vb7gvzKI/AAAAAAAAAwk/Ns39ygKW90I/s1600/GmailTranslate1.jpg" /></a></center><p />If you're bi-lingual and don't need translation for that language, just click on <b>Turn off for: [language]</b>. Or if you'd like to automatically have messages in that language translated into your language, click <b>Always Translate</b>. If you accidentally turned off the message translation feature for a particular language, or don't see the <b>Translate message</b> header on a message, click on the down arrow next to Reply at the top-right of the message pane and select the <b>Translate message</b> option in the drop-down. <p /><b>Title Tweaks</b><br />With the graduation of Title Tweaks, we've changed the text in the browser tab so that you can more easily see if you have new messages.  The tab now reads "Inbox (20) - user@example.com - Gmail" instead of "Gmail - Inbox (20) - user@example.com.” <p /><b>Smart Mute</b>We've made improvements to muting based on the graduation of the Smart Mute lab so you can be sure that noisy email threads stay out of your inbox.  You can learn more about muting email threads in the <a href="http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47787">help center</a>. <p />In addition to graduating these three labs, we'll also be retiring some less popular labs over the next few days: <b>Old Snakey, Mail Goggles, Mouse Gestures, Hide Unread Counts, Move Icon Column, Inbox Preview, Custom Date Formats</b> and <b>SMS in Chat gadget</b>.  Please note that the SMS in Chat lab is not being retired, just the gadget associated with it. <p /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Jeff Chin, Product Manager, Google Translate</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4388769677942023126-4942848687118928983?l=googletranslate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://googletranslate.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-translate-welcomes-you-to-indic.html">Back in June</a>, we launched five new experimental Indic languages for <a href="http://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a> on the desktop and mobile web app. Today, we’ve updated the <a href="http://googletranslate.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-translate-welcomes-you-to-indic.html">Google Translate for iPhone app</a> to add these new alpha languages: Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu. This brings the total number of languages supported by the app to 63 languages.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FfQzn_fqR48/TrMtdRFRw2I/AAAAAAAAAds/6Z2co8XGkBs/s1600/screenshots.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 285px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FfQzn_fqR48/TrMtdRFRw2I/AAAAAAAAAds/6Z2co8XGkBs/s400/screenshots.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670926336614581090" /></a><br /><br />The updated app supports the ability to view dictionary results for single words and to display romanizations for these new Indic languages. So even if you can't read the script the words are written in, you can still take a shot at reading the translation.<br /><br />Since these are still experimental alpha languages, you can expect translations be less fluent and include many more untranslated words than some of our more mature languages—like Spanish or Chinese—which have much more parallel data to power our statistical machine translation approach.  Despite these challenges, we believe users will find these new languages helpful and we're excited to be making them available through the Translate app.<br /><br />Google Translate for iPhone now supports text translation among 63 languages, voice input in 17 of those languages, and text-to-speech in 24 of them. Get the latest version of the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-translate/id414706506?mt=8&ls=1">Google Translate for iPhone app</a> from the App Store now and start breaking down language barriers wherever you are!<br /><br /><span class="post-author">Posted by Jeff Chin, Product Manager, Google Translate</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4388769677942023126-2173497705618208464?l=googletranslate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><i>(Cross-posted from the <a href="http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/10/breaking-down-language-barriers-with.html"> Inside Search Blog</a>)</i><br /></div><br />English speakers take it for granted that they can always find answers online, regardless of their search topic. But what if you speak Hindi, Welsh or Afrikaans? The amount of content available online per speaker for Hindi is just 1% of the vast content out there on the web per English speaker. So if you speak one of the languages with less online content, some of the most relevant results for your search may actually be in English.<br /><br />To help break down that language barrier between you and the answers you need, starting today you may see relevant results in English in addition to those in your default language. For example, let’s say you speak Hindi and want to find information on mountain climbing -- we want to help you also find the relevant pages in English and for these, you’ll also see a translation into your language.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JXu9IQbty_Y/TpyoxQUd3JI/AAAAAAAAAE4/F7IQASGDTxw/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-10-11%2Bat%2B7.58.51%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JXu9IQbty_Y/TpyoxQUd3JI/AAAAAAAAAE4/F7IQASGDTxw/s400/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-10-11%2Bat%2B7.58.51%2BAM.png" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Language is one of the biggest barriers to making information universally accessible, and we’ve been working to <a href="http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-translate-welcomes-you-to-indic.html">make increasing use of machine translation</a> to improve search across languages. This is especially important for languages with less prevalent local language content available online. You should also get the most relevant information regardless of the language you’re searching in. We use machine translation to translate your search, find the pages that best answer your question and translate the relevant results for you.<br /><br />You’ll start to see relevant English-language pages when you’re searching in one of 14 languages: Afrikaans, Malay, Swahili, Serbian, Slovak, Macedonian, Slovenian, Norwegian, Hindi, Catalan, Maltese, Icelandic, Welsh and Albanian.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><i>(Cross posted on the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/start-conversation-with-google.html">Official Google Blog</a> and <a href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/10/start-conversation-with-google.html">Google Mobile Blog</a>)</i><br /></div><div><br /></div>Mobile technology and the web have made it easier for people around the world to access information and communicate with each other. But there’s still a daunting obstacle: the language barrier. We’re trying to knock down that barrier so everyone can communicate and connect more easily.<br /><br />Earlier this year, we launched an <a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogleblog.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F01%2Fnew-look-for-google-translate-for.html">update</a> to Google Translate for Android with an experimental feature called Conversation Mode, which enables you to you translate speech back and forth between languages. We began with just English and Spanish, but today we’re expanding to 14 languages, adding Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Russian and Turkish.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T8fsvYd2RBY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>To use Conversation Mode, speak into your phone’s microphone, and the Translate app will translate what you’ve said and read the translation out loud. The person you’re speaking with can then reply in their language, and Conversation Mode will translate what they said and read it back to you.<br /><br />This technology is still in alpha, so factors like background noise and regional accents may affect accuracy. But since it depends on examples to learn, the quality will improve as people use it more.  We wanted to get this early version out to help start the conversation no matter where you are in the world.<br /><br />We’ve also added some other features to make it easier to speak and read as you translate. For example, if you wanted to say “Where is the train?” but Google Translate recognizes your speech as “Where is the rain?”, you can now correct the text before you translate it. You can also add unrecognized words to your personal dictionary.<br /><br />When viewing written translation results, you can tap the magnifying glass icon to view the translated text in full screen mode so you can easily show it to someone nearby, or just pinch to zoom in for a close-up view.<div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oQk9SxRGTgc/TpcjxdXbRGI/AAAAAAAAAL4/mPZj2-uOmIY/s1600/Translate3SS.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oQk9SxRGTgc/TpcjxdXbRGI/AAAAAAAAAL4/mPZj2-uOmIY/s400/Translate3SS.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGERPHOTOID_5663034389045134434" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Tap the magnifying glass icon to view translations full screen.</i></div><div><br /></div><br />Finally, we’ve also optimized the app for larger screens like your Android tablet.<br /><br />While we work to expand full Conversation Mode to even more languages, Google Translate for Android still supports text translation among 63 languages, voice input in 17 of those languages, and text-to-speech in 24 of them.<br /><br />Download the Google Translate app in <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.translate">Android Market</a> — it’s available for tablets and mobile phones running Android 2.2 and up.<br /><br /><br /><span class="post-author">Posted by Jeff Chin, Product Manager</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4388769677942023126-4102594154807576002?l=googletranslate.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[This year cloud computing went mainstream, and the conversations moved beyond "this is a way to cut costs" to "this is a better way to run my business."  While many IT vendors have now adopted (or co-opted) the term “cloud computing” to describe a wide variety of technologies, most don’t deliver on the true promise of the cloud.  Hosting single-tenant server products in a data center is not cloud computing.  Nor is requiring customers to install thick client software.  These solutions lock-in customers to multi-year release cycles, leave them with the significant costs of managing client software, and expose sensitive data on insecure devices.  In 2011, we are committed to moving beyond the current notion of cloud computing to bring customers to a world we call 100% web.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">100% web</span><br />In a 100% web world, business applications are delivered over the Internet and accessed in a web browser. The applications and the data are stored centrally and are designed to be served from a highly scalable, secure and reliable multi-tenant infrastructure. Devices like notebooks, tablets, and smartphones are portals to the data that help people be productive from anywhere, at any time.  Upgrades aren’t necessary to get access to the latest innovation, just refresh the browser.  Businesses no longer own or manage servers and client software: they purchase integrated applications and development platforms from others, and now devote their valuable time to business logic and features that create competitive advantage.<br /><br />We are investing in a variety of technologies so that companies can be productive with nothing but the web:<br /><ul><li><a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google Apps</a> is the world’s most popular suite of web-based communication and collaboration applications, and includes email, instant messaging, calendaring, documents, sites, video sharing, Postini services and <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/11/ten-times-more-applications-for-google.html">dozens more</a>.  We will continue to improve and expand our offerings to bring more powerful technologies to our more than three million customers.</li><li><a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/#utm_campaign=gogoogle&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google App Engine</a> lets companies build their own applications for internal or external use and host them on Google infrastructure.  This allows for faster and easier development, virtually no ongoing maintenance, and the ability to easily scale to meet capacity needs at short notice.  App Engine already sees more than 1 billion page views per day from more than 150,000 active applications, and we will be launching App Engine for Business more broadly in 2011.</li><li><a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google Apps Marketplace</a> provides the other applications customers need to build their business on the web, integrated with Google Apps and installed in a few clicks.  The marketplace will continue to grow beyond its 250 applications and make it easier for businesses to find, evaluate, and purchase the best non-Google applications on the web. </li><li><a href="http://www.android.com/#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Android</a> is one of the <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/Arubin/status/12727540783251456">fastest growing</a> mobile platforms in the world and designed to drive innovation and choice. Companies can now manage Android, iPhone, Windows Mobile, and other ActiveSync devices right from the browser. And the Android team is hard at work on a new version of the platform that addresses the unique aspects of tablet form factors and use cases.</li><li><a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/chromebrowser.html#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google Chrome</a> is an open source web browser developed to provide users with a fast, simple, and secure web-browsing experience with modern web applications.  Chrome has become 300% faster in just two years, and adoption has tripled over the last year.  This week we announced <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/12/chrome-is-ready-for-business.html">new features</a> for Chrome to make managing enterprise deployments easy. Also, companies using older versions of Internet Explorer for their legacy applications can use <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google Chrome Frame</a> to access modern web apps that rely on technologies like HTML5.</li><li><a href="http://www.google.com/chromeos/#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google Chrome OS</a> is a new operating system designed from the ground up for 100% web. By building an operating system that is essentially a browser, we can make computers faster, much simpler and fundamentally more secure.  Last Tuesday, we announced the Chrome notebook Pilot program (<a href="http://www.google.com/chromeos/pilot-program.html#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">apply to pilot</a>) and Chrome devices for business will be available for purchase in 2011.</li></ul><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HD84rP3mKC4/TQo8m7icXkI/AAAAAAAAA5M/DTFmXt90rxY/s1600/web.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HD84rP3mKC4/TQo8m7icXkI/AAAAAAAAA5M/DTFmXt90rxY/s400/web.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551316130202410562" /></a><br /><br />While many companies are able to jump right to 100% web, we understand that other larger businesses have substantial investments in legacy technology.  So we’re also investing in solutions that bridge existing technologies to the world of 100% web:<br /><ul><li><a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/11/bridge-to-cloud-google-cloud-connect.html#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office</a> allows people to continue to use the familiar Office interface (including Office 2003, 2007, and 2010), while reaping many of the benefits of web-based collaboration that Google Docs users already enjoy.  It will be available soon. </li><li><a href="http://www.google.com/postini/continuity.html#utm_campaign=100web&amp;utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-100web_12162010&amp;utm_medium=blog">Google Message Continuity</a> is a very cost-effective form of disaster recovery that lets Microsoft Exchange customers leverage the reliability of Gmail to back up their servers. </li></ul><br /><br />100% web is a dramatic shift from how companies have traditionally purchased, deployed, and managed IT.  But the more we talk with customers the more we realize that this is the change they’ve been waiting for.  It is the ultimate extension of the cloud computing model, and it brings substantial benefits for companies that no other IT model can provide in terms of simplicity, cost, security, flexibility, and pace of innovation.  If 2010 was the year of the cloud, 2011 looks to be the year of nothing but the web.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Dave Girouard, President, Google Enterprise</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19843120-2299583066059732353?l=googleenterprise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week Microsoft will take its Office 2010 suite out of beta.  If you’re considering upgrading Office with Office, we’d encourage you to consider an alternative: upgrading Office with Google Docs.  If you choose this path, <i>upgrade</i> means what it’s supposed to mean: effortless, affordable, and delivering a remarkable increase in employee productivity. This is a refreshing alternative to the expensive and laborious upgrades to which IT professionals have become accustomed.</p><p>Google Docs has been providing rich real-time collaboration to millions of users for nearly four years.  It lets employees edit and share documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in the browser from anywhere in the world. We recently made tremendous strides in improving <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/laying-foundation-for-new-google-docs.html">Google Docs formatting, speed and functionality</a>, and a growing number of companies are now using it as their primary productivity software.</p><p>Of course, you probably already own Office 2003 or 2007 (or maybe Office 2000?), and there’s no need to uninstall them.  Fortunately, Google Docs also makes Office 2003 and 2007 better.  For example, you can <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/01/store-and-share-files-in-cloud-with.html">store any file</a> –  including Microsoft Office documents – in Google’s cloud and share them in their original format (protected, naturally by Google’s <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/03/disaster-recovery-by-google.html">synchronous replication</a> across datacenters). Plus, in the coming months, Google will enable <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/03/google-docs-welcomes-docverse.html">real-time collaboration</a> directly in Office 2003 and 2007, as you can see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/googleapps#p/a/u/0/qSfNQ0WeHXE">here</a>.</p><p>Google Docs represents a real alternative for companies: a chance to get the collaboration features you need today and end the endless cycle of “upgrades”.  For more information on the choices available to you, check out the summary below.  But don’t take our word for it – you can <a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/features.html#utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=en-blog-us-na-docs-entblog_0510&amp;utm_campaign=docs">try Google Docs and the rest of the Google Apps suite for free</a>. The only thing you have to lose is a server or two.</p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_HD84rP3mKC4/S-mZ8wnc-rI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/tW0JPrJ2K-g/WA34-1005_Blogger-Chart_Office-2010-800px_v4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_HD84rP3mKC4/S-mZ84SKwEI/AAAAAAAAAqU/1qfNjHMMTUU/s512/WA34-1005_Blogger-Chart_Office-2010-530px_v4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469816157906087922" /></a><div>For further information on Microsoft's offerings and requirements, please reference the Microsoft TechNet articles on <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303422(office.14).aspx">SharePoint 2010</a> and <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc326108(office.14).aspx">Office 2010</a>.<br /><div><br /><div><span class="byline-author">Posted by Matthew Glotzbach, Google Enterprise Product Management Director</span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19843120-6280222245805529581?l=googleenterprise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>]]></content:encoded>
