Dominic Jaar shared his thoughts on Microsoft Office 2010 in The Lawyers Weekly magazine. The article in question asks lawyers, “Should you upgrade to Microsoft Office 2010 now?“.
Dominic makes two general notes on the usability and functionality of the 2010 version of the Office suite, namely, on the “Conversations” organization of emails in Outlook and the so-called “real-time” collaboration in Workplace. However, two sets of remarks are of particular interest for lawyers. The first is the difficulty of access to metadata: “metadata is important, it should be up front”. A second important remark is about the possibility to use the Office suite online and storing documents in the cloud: if the information is of confidential nature, “unless the cloud they use is in Canada”, Dominic has some reluctance to use such a service.
