Microsoft officials are acknowledging that they are planning to add ActiveSync support to Hotmail on August 30.

The ActiveSync addition also will allow Hotmail users to sync contacts and calendars across their iPhones, iPod Touch devices, Android phones and (once they are available) t

"Microsoft will support Windows XP for four more years," said Charles Smulders, managing vice president at Gartner. "With most

Is this Microsoft's new Internet Explorer 9 interface?

By anyweb,

Summary:
"Microsoft Russia’s press site, on August 25, posted information and a photo that seem to be connected to the coming IE 9 beta. (The site has since pulled their post, but I grabbed the information and screen shot in the nick of time.)"
Microsoft has delivered four developer previews of Internet Explorer (IE) 9 so far, but has yet to show off the new interface for its next-generation browser. That is expected to happen on September 15, during Microsoft’s beta launch event in Sa
15 YEARS AGO TODAY... Windows 95 Launched. Let's Take A Brief Trip Back...

By anyweb,

Windows 95 launched 15 years ago today, Mary Jo Foley reminds us.
Today, after 15 years of additional technology evolution--and after memories of the event have been obliterated by semi-annual blockbuster launches of Apple products--it's hard to believe that the Windows 95 launch was a big deal.
But it WAS.

Windows 95 catapulted Microsoft into the mainstream consumer consciousness, in a way that no other Microsoft product ever had. It cappe

Microsoft beats Intel, AMD to market with CPU/GPU combo chip

By anyweb,

At Hot Chips today, Microsoft's Xbox team unveiled details of the system-on-a-chip (SoC) that powers the newer, slimmer Xbox 360 250GB model. Produced on the IBM/GlobalFoundries 45nm process, it's fair to say that the new SoC (pictured above) is the first mass-market, desktop-class processor to combine a CPU, GPU, memory, and I/O logic onto a single piece of silicon. The goal of the consolidation was, of course, to lower the cost of making the console by reducing the number of different chips ne
