Review: CC PDF Converter protects your work with Creative Commons licenses

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

With Creative Commons licenses, you can distribute your creative work for free and specify the conditions under which it can be used. For example, you can offer your work free for use, provided you receive attribution; or say that it's fine for personal or nonprofit projects to use your work, but that commercial ventures have to pay you. Attaching one of these licenses to the work removes any ambiguity or doubt as to the terms and conditions under which you share your work.

CC PDF Converter helps you select the correct Creative Commons license. Randall Munroe's webcomic XKCD uses the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.5 license.

CC Free PDF Converter converts your document Word document, Excel file, or Internet Explorer HTML file into a PDF document, but it's not an ordinary PDF. This free beta program asks you a series of questions about the type of license you want, and then stamps a small but legible Creative Commons license on the pages.

Windows 8 – 60 Million Licenses Sold

Windows 8 is the future.

By far the best operating system Microsoft have ever released and by the far the most radical change so a little caution from certain users is to be expected.

Users just need to be educated a little, not to be afraid of change, once you get used to the new interface, people will see and realise that Windows 8 is here to stay and is actually very very good.

Every user I have spoken to that has taken a little time to learn Windows 8, really enjoys the experience and admits its the best Windows experience they have ever had and I am inclined to agree.

Microsoft have got it right this time.

So all in all for such a radical change those figures are actually encouraging.

Looking at the new Windows 8 tablets at CES as well, things are looking positive for W8 and the whole touch experience, now if only the prices would come down a bit for W8 touch devices, a little pricey at the moment unfortunately.

Corporate Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Windows and Windows Live Tami Reller joined Steve Ballmer today during the Worldwide Partner Conference keynote where she highlighted that Windows 7 is the path to Windows 8 and that we believe that in the future, we will see enterprise environments running a combination of Windows 8 devices and apps alongside Windows 7 PCs and apps.
