    Paul Thurrot can now confirm that most of the rumored coming changes to the Start experience in Windows 8.1 “Blue” are correct. And he's got a few screenshots to help demonstrate how these changes are implemented.     First up, please be sure to read Coming in Blue: Boot to Desktop, Start Button, and More. In that post, he describes a set of very credible rumors about some of the changes that Microsoft is making to the Windows 8.1 update. Since posting that, he has been able to confirm a nu

    After months of rumors, Microsoft on Monday confirmed it is readying an update to Windows 8 for later this year. Codenamed Windows Blue, the update will enable Windows to run on a wider range of devices (read: smaller-screen tablets).

There was no guarantee the Softies would provide an updated count today, the day it released its Q3 FY2013 earnings. But many of us had been expecting it. Microsoft officials said they sold more than 40 million copies of Windows 8 the first month it was commercially available. On January 8, Microsoft officials said the company had sold 60 mi

    Microsoft may be having the last laugh with Thursday's report that the company enjoyed a strong uptick in sales and profits for the first three months of 2013. The software giant pulled in revenue of $20.5 billion in its fiscal third quarter, up 18 percent from the same period in 2012, while also reporting operating income of $7.6 billion, up 19 percent, and diluted EPS of $0.72, up 20 percent.

    MMS 2013 is well underway in Las Vegas and those lucky enough to be there got to see the usual Keynote from Microsoft Corporate Vice President Brad Anderson. There were plenty of buzzwords in the keynote from Brad, but before he spoke there were a few snippets from Microsoft customers explaining how IT is growing faster than ever before and how it's adapting to change in order to get closer to business.     Live demos   He kicked off the keynote by announcing the delays was due to no inte

    Surface Pro: My week as engineer and train commuter

I wrote why the Surface RT couldn't cut it for me while I was on the road, which drove me to the Surface Pro. While I could have purchased another Windows 8 computer or a MacBook Air (running Windows for my engineering apps), the attraction of the Surface Pro
