Though PPC reports can be obtained in document format, you can also receive in csv format for data extrapolation. So if you do data analysis on your PPC results, which Excel plug-ins or data visualization tool do you use to make sense of this data?

It's always fun to stand and watch as two big names slug it out, and they don't come much bigger than Microsoft.

You have to give Steve Ballmer and Microsoft credit. After years of sitting on the sidelines playing defense and catch-up, this year they have definitely been on offense. Whether it's the ad wars, releasing Bing, the deal with Yahoo!, the retail strategy or its latest move, a deal with Nokia …

It's hard to convince Joe and Mary User to convert to Linux when the first things you hear from them are: "Where's my <insert stupid application here>?"

It is either a clever bit of strategy or a shambolic u-turn depending upon your view of the company, but Microsoft has now formally abandoned plans to sell the controversial Windows 7 E edition in Europe.
