Posted on September 30, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

A couple weeks back, Microsoft started sending out invitations for a press event rumored to introduce a new Windows Technical Preview and give us a bunch insight into the company’s plans for Windows 9. Sure enough, today Microsoft shared its vision for the future of Windows, but there’s not going to be any Windows 9; instead, we’re skipping that entry entirely and moving full speed ahead to Windows 10, powering everything from phones to TV-sized presentation screens, and set to start arriving ...

Posted on September 15, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Windows finds itself smack dab in a period of transition right now. Users are shifting away from desktop PCs and even laptops to more mobile devices like tablets, to say nothing of smartphones themselves. And as this move continues, Windows becomes a more interesting operating system to us and our mobile focus.

This may be just the start of a larger trend, as multiple ...

For some, the smartest thing to do would be to start over, that’s exactly what Microsoft plans to do under Microsoft to unveil Windows 9 and WP9 on September 30? appeared first on Pocketnow.

Microsoft Office for Android tablets may beat Metro Win8 version to market

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

A little over two months ago, Microsoft introduced its version of Office for the iPad. While that was fantastic to see arrive, if not quite a bit overdue, it also managed to help punctuate just where Microsoft’s mobile aspirations for Office were still lacking; for instance, we had Office Mobile for Android smartphones, and Microsoft even made it free for home use, but there was still no Android tablet version. A new report not only affirms that such an ...

2014 has definitely been a year of surprises for the mobile industry thus far. Some of them have been minor ways of tweaking how a company used to do business, like Nokia dropping number-based names for the Lumia Icon. Others have been more shocking, like news of Google offloading Motorola to Lenovo. Then there are those that just seemed positively unbelievable at first, yet we’ve slowly come around to accept them, like Nokia’s work towards an Android-based handset. We find ourselves faced with another such ...
