I must admit, I was really excited about Windows8. I believed that the giant had awoken and that integration with mobile and tablet platforms had finally arrived. I eagerly updated my Win 7 machine the day it was released. I have now been using it on a regular basis and "can make it work"...

Hello I have Win 7 and love it. I have been reading about Win 8 and want to ask 2 questions from Win 7 users regarding a possible upgrade. Do you need to buy a special codec to play dvds or can you use third party like Ashmpoo to play them? Do you know the cost of the codecs if necessary...

We need to get a netbook or small, cheap, laptop for back up. If my or my husbands pc goes, we need it. And we definately need it if the router goes wrong again, we need something mobile to fix it with the disc. The thing is, we can't spend more than £200 and only a bit more than that if it...

Such as a mouse, a mobile, or an external drive. I mean make them visible (in My Computer) even though they're not connected so it's easier to remember what devices I use. My memory is awful, don't ask. Obviously I know I wouldn't be able to access the files unless the devices were connected...

Hello everyone, I'm thinking of buying this machine, but I can't find any comprehensive description of its specifications on the net anywhere - not even on Fujitsu's site! Of course, the salesmen, being clueless as they are, could not verify what graphics it has. There's an Nvidia Geforce...

Just read this and found it interesting, somewhat exciting and a little bit frightening. Windows Next: Just call it 'Blue'? | ZDNet I wonder what it may mean to we consumers either desktop or mobile users. Perhaps the sound of the other shoe dropping?

With October 26th looming on the horizon and the release of the all new, much touted (already) Microsoft "Surface", I am wondering if Microsoft is once again missing the proverbial boat. Marketing thus far seems to be very WOW factor oriented. Looks good, feels good, runs great, does...

As many of us are aware, Microsoft announced their iPad competitor, the Surface, will be available after the launch of Windows 8. What does everyone think? The RT version will be running a version of Windows 8 specifically designed for tablets (think iOS rather than Mac OSX) while the Surface...

It seems that Microsoft wants to have their cake and eat it too. Who wouldn't, after all what good is having cake if you can't eat it. On the one hand they have this new OS (Windows 8) which is likely to RTM in August (some suggest as early as July) and become GA (Generally Available) in...
