Microsoft are in the process of rolling out a new version of SkyDrive and I have to say it looks pretty nice and in the case of the photos it just looks pretty. I don’t yet have the new SkyDrive but the below video seems to do a good job of showcasing some of the [...]

I have previously looked at how well Microsoft is achieving its own aim of “3 screens an the cloud” and thought I’d provide and update following recent announcements and rumours. I am obviously looking at the 4 different platforms along with 5 services. These 5 services can be summarised as: – Windows Live: Personal – [...]

I just thought I’d finish off my Windows Phone Mango posts with one that looks briefly at what Mango means to other Microsoft products. Read my thoughts on Mango or see Mango in pictures. I think the product that we can see the most new things is with Windows Live. Windows Live is used as [...]

Yesterday, amid all the excitement, I wrote a quick blog post collecting some of my tweets outlining ideas I had had about where Skype could be integrated effectively into existing Microsoft products. Well today I thought I would expand on some of those ideas and share some others thoughts about the deal. So first up [...]

With Office 2010 able to link with Windows Live IDs to share documents to SkyDrive I think this integration should be combined with Mesh to have my own, personal dictionary up in the cloud. Therefore all [...]

First of all let me just wish all my readers a very happy new year, I hope you have all had relaxing and enjoyable holidays. I’d also like to apologise for the lack of posts on here, I was far busier this festive season than I thought I would be. Anyway, the show must go [...]

Since the beginning of this year I have been writing a series of posts looking at how close Microsoft is to succeeding in its “3 screens and the cloud” strategy. Since Kinect, Windows Phone 7 and a few other products have now been released I thought I would update the numbers from March when I [...]

There’s an omission from Windows Phone 7 that for me ranks as highly as copy and paste and that is the lack of Windows Live Messenger. I expected, until the summer, that Messenger would feature prominently on Windows Phone 7 and then when seeing nothing special in the RTM I assumed there would be a [...]
