This is the latest version of the Home Office programs, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007.  The software suite includes Office Excel 2007, Office OneNote 2007, Office PowerPoint 2007, and Office Word 2007.  For those that may not have tried this latest version out before— be prepared it is a little different than what you are used to.

The ribbon menu is a departure from the older versions of Office, so you will definitely have to be able to adapt yourself to those changes.  But the program does allow you the option to save your documents in all kinds of formats including older Word versions, which is very handy since older versions of Office are unable to open Office ‘07 documents.  It did take a little getting used to when I first started using the program, but I do like it a lot now.  Continued after the break.

For most of us, accidentally deleting photos is a problem.  Or so thing Diskeeper who recently released Undelete 2009, a utility that makes it so you can recovered deleted items (not just photos).  The company hopes to save consumers from that nasty “delete” button.

The makers say not only will Undelete 2009 start protecting you from errant deletes but can also save images you deleted before the software was installed.  As we know, deleted images on a camera are merely marked “deleted” and ignored by the camera after you delete them.  This software goes in and changes that designation.

As I mentioned, this is not just for photos.  The software also features Search Disk to assist you in grabbing over-writ versions of MS Word and Excel.  I find that feature alone pretty handy.  Other features include: low performance requirements and a way to permanently delete files and render them unrecoverable.
The company offers a 15 day free trial at their site.  The software costs $45.02 (US conversion from British Pounds).
