Back in October 2012, Windows 8 was release to the world with a very elaborate advertising campaign and promises of opening your eyes to a whole new world of computing. Unfortunately though, the up take of Windows 8 has been poor at best. With even Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen publicly saying that there were parts of Windows 8 he found “confusing”. Since October the Microsoft elves ... »
Yesterday the Microsoft Surface Pro was released to the US market and with the RT version of Microsoft’s tablet being all but a flop, many people were intrigued to see how this $899 device would go down – it turns out pretty well on the face of things.

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.

Personally I use my Xbox 360 to stream video’s from my NAS to my living room and occasionally surfing the web on the new Internet Explorer app for the Xbox. That’s not all you can ... »
So Windows 8 is finally here, and with the latest iteration of the Microsoft productivity suite Microsoft Office 2013 set to hit the shelves some time this month it really is a busy time for Microsoft at the moment. 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... »

If you where thinking that you’re looking forward to the latest release, wondering what the new start menu or taskbar might look like? Well you’re in for a big surprise. It’s well publicised that there is no love lost between me and Windows 8. This is mainly because of the vast different between Wind... »
October 26. How many of you have that marked on your calendars? If you don’t already know, October 26th is the official release date of Windows 8. Windows 8 is significant in that it is (in my humble opinion) the most significant change to Windows since Windows 95. Looking Back on Windows 95 I don’t even have to look up the date. I was so excited about it for so long. August 24th, 1995... »
