    Re: Ultrabooks - suitable for dev work?

    Some Netbooks may have offered Windows SE, but I can guarantee that no Ultrabook does. They all run Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional.

    Re: How to fill in a Word Template from .NET

    The client side must have Office installed otherwise you won't be able to do anything with the automatically populated template, so why not just run the application client-side?
