However, Windows Vista and Windows XP users as well as some other types, have been left out in the cold – until today, we all assumed you’d need to buy a full copy, with Windows 10 Home starting at $119. Today, though, Maximum PC spotted that in its Windows blog, Microsoft has dropped a...

When we talked about Link Removed back in November, we announced new capabilities that will enable Windows 10 to leverage Azure Active Directory. Since these capabilities are now starting to appear in the Windows 10 preview builds, this is a great time to explore them in more detail. When...

I look back on this past quarter and kind of say, "wow." So much has been released, there was so much news that even with this round-up, it's hard to grok it all. Then I try to imagine what the NEXT quarterly round-up, post BUILD/Ignite, will look like [Brain Explodes]... Coding4Fun Blog...

Microsoft has revealed in a blog post a new list of Lumia smartphones that will receive the Windows 10 Technical Preview update for Windows Insiders when it arrives. As Gabe Aul points out in the post, this is a preliminary list and “not 100% locked”. Some devices may be pulled from the list if...

In a blog post, Microsoft has confirmed that Windows Server and System Center will not launch until 2016. The move is a departure from Microsoft's historic strategy of launching its server platform alongside the general consumer release of Windows. As it stands, Windows 10 will launch this year...

Does anyone know why Microsoft canceled support/discontinued Microsoft Expression Web and why Windows Live Essentials, especially Windows Live Writer hasn't been updated in years?

Does Microsoft offer users a blog spot similar to that offered by Google? On line public blogs is what I mean.

It has been decided that it is best that we transfer our blog system into the forums themselves. This will allow members to view, and in some cases manage, threads they have already created, create new ones, and allow for better visibility of your messages. A conclusion was made that the blog...

I am new to the Windows 8 forums. I have always loved the forums, I think it's because it takes me back to the BBS days in the late 80's and early 90's. Say what you will about social networking, but forum postings have always been a great way to communicate real ideas. I actually already...
