Thanks, Rascal. This is beginning to sound like scary science fiction, Step by small step toward total control.
Of course, there are a lot more of us vs. THEM. So it is a matter of accepting the unacceptable or drawing the line, NOW!

I use the Office 2010 myself and you don't have to be online to use it.
Why she think's one have to is beyond me. Internet is only required for some functions... as usual. Here's a link to the official requirement's: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...ffice.14).aspx

Microsoft Excel 2010
The following table lists the system requirements for Microsoft Excel 2010. <snipped>
why do i need internet access to do excel in Office 2010? Server connectivity is okay, cause you are most likely in a business environment where fdata is stored on your Local server but why on your desk? ? *edit* NOTE:those are the beta requirements, so the internet acces might be for validation purposes.

but still in development i betcha. will resurface in the future when its ready to put its gun in our faces.
such technologies are not shared with the public, as they are the treasures of the corporations that develop them. Brace for impact i say.

Connection required for some functions... quite logic isn't it?
It's always been that way and 2010 is no different in that department. There are some new stuff in 2010 that requires a connection and that is what the requirements says.

So what functions? Things like the online Microsoft help, etc. So it DOESN'T mean you need the internet to use its 'core' functions. As for cloud computing, that's partly a reaction to the costs involved in the infrastructure for running a business of any 'medium/large' size. They're very large costs. |

A little googling indicates that the "Who will guard the guards" or "Who will watch the watchers" quote comes from Juvenal:

Yeah, "for internet functions."
I cannot imagine a business willing to pay for an app used for daily operation (Word, Excel, etc) that would cease to function if someone at some other business kicked the cord out. Would you? "Sorry, Mr. Customer, I could not fedex you a packet describing our new offering for you because Word was down due to a car crash that took out a phone line." "The dog ate my homework, too." |

When one need an application for work it is always a good idea to check the open source world and the talented people coding there.
Not only the sources can actually be checked to avoid some nasty spying and external company control on your system, but most are not some low level applications, but often are as feature packed as the commercial alternative : Want a valid and good alternative to Office ? Open Office Want a valid and good alternative to high level modelling softwares ? Blender Want a valid and good alternative to Photoshop ? Gimp etc ... etc ... |

If you want the online version of Office, yes, you'll need an online connection? like Google's "office" application. What's odd about that??
Your documents are viewable in browsers and can be accesed from everywhere... aka cloud computing through Office Web Apps. Please note these applications are for free.... If you want an Office with off-line capabilities, you go buy the full thingy... which is really cheap btw... Your GF is wrongly informed - or misleading you. |
