Actually.. It left me in the blue and with an even more awe for MS Word ;-)

A few months back I held an interview with the 'Chief Learning Officer' Darwin Grosse of Cycling '74. No; they don't make bikes, this is the company behind 'Max'; a visual multi-media programming environment which exists for almost 10 years now. My passion lies with synthesizers, electronic sound and sound design. I keep a blog and "due to popular demand" ended up with an interview. It rocked!

It was also the first time when I used Office 2010 for something more serious (I was using a trial back then).

An interview, as you may now, gets conducted but then you need to revise & edit it. Some comments are not to be shared, others need to be slightly changed to get the message better across and even others are best deleted because it was only intended to be shared between the people participating in the interview.

I have no idea if I'm talking about other things here (most likely this is the case) but my revision comments were all presented in a blue box at the right side of the screen.

But still... I open up this old document and I still like what I see.. Heck; the other party didn't even use Office so I sent him the document using the PDF format. Word had my back; comments were maintained because I wanted that and he could not only follow my worked out interview but also clearly see the changes I implemented.

I really enjoyed using this feature myself.

Not going to spam, but... If interested just check Bing for "synthfan.info interview". Obviously that's the online worked out version, but MS Office 2010 had a big part in that!
