This is something I have been mulling over for the past few weeks and it’s something that might add credibility to rumours of a new Xbox within the next 2 years. This conclusion is formed of some of the facts we know about Windows 8 and the Xbox 360 and also quite a lot of [...]

Back in February I wrote an article bout how I think Microsoft will be using Windows 8 as a single OS to try and gain significant market share in a number of tech markets. Microsoft need a viable competitor to the tablets currently on offer and those that will be coming out between now and [...]

As many of you know I live the “Microsoft Life” (the name of the site is a bit of a giveaway if you didn’t know) and I have no Apple products and use no Google services. Some people may frown on me for doing such but I can now, finally, show people the advantages to [...]

Last night Microsoft held its CES keynote presented by Steve Ballmer, there were some interesting announcements and some disappointing omissions. You can watch the keynote and highlights at the Microsoft News Center. First off Ballmer spoke about the Xbox and announced that in the Spring an update will be released for the Xbox 360 that [...]

Just thought I would point out to you that Microsoft is the first company, ever, to make playing music and games accessible on the “3 screens” (mobile, computer and TV) and also on the cloud (both directly through a browser and indirectly using the social network element).

We know that Zune service is coming to the UK very soon. I know that the back end infrastructure has been in place for months as I tried the Zune Pass Trial out back at the end of July. But I have received conflicting reports of whether Zune Pass is working the Xbox dashboard update [...]

Yesterday I read an article on The Next Web about why Microsoft should buy the small company Qwiki and I have to say I fully agree with the article and actually have another reason why it should purchase the company; Kinect. Qwiki, for those that don’t know and I didn’t until yesterday, is a start [...]

Apple’s media event yesterday saw the arrival of a music orientated social network, Ping. However, the event also disappointed some as the rumours, as is often the case, were more exciting than what Apple actually announced. Some rumours were along the lines of music streaming of the vast collection of music Apple has. Do you [...]

Yesterday I attended Microsoft’s “Xmas in July” event in the Saatchi Gallery in central London in which many of Microsoft’s consumer products were being demoed. I went to the event with my brother so that I could get a purely consumer perspective on what Microsoft had to show. First off my brother and I entered [...]
