Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft Gives Office a Metro Makeover
Microsoft's next version of its office suite, Office 15, is currently
available as a private preview for beta testers. However, a reviewer not
bound by Microsoft's non-disclosure agreement claims to have used a
copy, and he says the new version has a Metro look and feel to it that
ties in Office to the minimalist aesthetics of Windows 8.

Security Wonks Tussle Over Tolly Test
Security experts have been debating for years the merits of whitelists
versus blacklists in securing an enterprise, and last week the debate
continued to rage with the release of some test results from the Tolly
Group. The group tested three endpoint protection programs: McAfee
Endpoint Protection Suite, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 and Parity
Suite 6.0 from Bit9, which also sponsored the tests.

Windows 8 and the Perception Game
Windows 8 is likely the most ambitious UI project for Microsoft since
Microsoft Bob, and we all know how that ended up. For what it was
intended to do, Bob was both cutting-edge and very successful. However,
the bar was set too high, and it failed spectacularly. We've since seen
products like the RIM PlayBook -- which was a brilliant BlackBerry
accessory but not designed to be a standalone product like the iPad --
fail for similar reasons.

iPhoto for iPad Is Gorgeous, Fluid, Fun - and Slightly Confusing
I haven't had long to play with the new iPhoto app for iOS on my iPad 2,
but first impressions might actually tell the tale pretty well this
time: It's at once gorgeous, fluid, and fun ... but it's also confusing.
How so? First, the look and feel. The app is broken out into four
sections: Albums, Photos, Events and Journals.

Can Nokia Bring the Right Stuff to the Tablet Race?
Nokia has confirmed that work is progressing on a Window 8 tablet
device. That Nokia is opting for Windows 8 instead of Android is hardly
a surprise, given Nokia Chief Executive Stephen Elop's history with
Microsoft. Still, there are many questions surrounding the endeavor.
What can Nokia bring to the tablet market that is unique?
