Let’s start all this out with a disclaimer. I don’t think that Microsoft is going to be releasing a Linux version of Office any time soon. I’m even skeptical of the idea that Microsoft might put out an Android or iOS version of Office, though that seems significantly more likely than a desktop Linux version. But let’s set aside that skepticism for a few minutes and assume... »
Artice by Phil Chapman, Windows 8 Instructor at Firebrand Training Without doubt, one of the most widespread security concerns for any network – regardless of size – is protection from malicious software and spyware.

So we all know that Microsoft is a household name.

Microsoft Office is undoubtedly a great tool (although I personally prefer Thunderbird to Outlook). I recently wrote about how you can get a Microsoft Office 2013 60 day trial for free and since then I’ve been using Office 2013 to see how it fairs against previous versions. I use Office 2010 quite a lot whilst in work, so I am certainly no stranger to it. Office 2013 on the surface does feel... »
Many people, including myself use their Xbox 360 for much more than just a games console. Microsoft have worked really hard to make the Xbox 360 a fully fledged media centre as well as a great games console.

Users have been able to try Windows 8 for many months via the release previews that Microsoft sent out into the wilds of the internet. Now you can do exactly the same thing with Office... »
