Windows 8 cannot be said to be anything else then a disaster for Microsoft. I like Windows 8 and run it both on my desktop computer at work and at home.

Microsoft should have taken a different approach and migrated all their current Live Messenger users over to Skype, and killed their legacy instant messenger client. Now they have their classic […] Continue reading →
I am not a gamer, and I haven’t paid attention to what is happening on E3. But Microsoft’s keynote has not been about gaming, but rather how they are expanding the Xbox ecosystem – with, among other things, Internet Explorer and Xbox SmartGlass. Yes, battle for the living room is on! The SmartGlass announcement came as a surprise to me. According to Microsoft “Xbox SmartGlass” is a system that integrate your big-screen TV with your console, your tablet, your […] Continue reading →
