I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Technical Preview – are you on W10?

Advertisements Yesterday the insider preview for Windows 10 went live. My ancient Acer is on its last knees so I thought why the heck not. You can either install it: over whatever your PC is currently (e.g. Win7/8) – all your files stay the same clean install (put the ISO on an external drive and […]

HoloLens initial impressions: It’s real, it’s crazy, it’s incredible! (BTW what about tactile/texture glove interaction?)

Microsoft’s HoloLens is so impressive, it’s rightfully been branded as either fake, simulated, vapourware and similar words of that ilk. All the visual stuff, it’s all real with no lag, everything reacting as if it were real. TheVerge says it was kinda incredible! They thought it was a really smart way to use this technology […]

Microsoft’s HoloLens is causing quite a stir. One of the best places to gauge how the reaction will be across a wider range of people is Reddit. Warning: profanity here and there. As per the promo – imagine Minecraft with this. It was interesting to see it portrayed with minecraft creations placed on top of […]

I’m not sure how up to date the view councounter is over at YouTube but it’s currently rocking over 3 million views for a video that was just uploaded 11 hours ago. That would either need a mass of preteen JB/1D fans on their latest music video or something that has wowed a lot of […]

Will you update? Windows 10 Free upgrade (Windows 7, Windows 8.1, WP8.1)

Yesterday, MS announced that the Windows 10 Upgrade will be free for the first year. I’ve been hesitant to even stray away from Windows 7 from my current ancient Acer gaming desktop (simply because any changes to this awful Acer hardware makes it die quicker) but I’m really intrigued about Windows 10 – perhaps it […]

Windows Holographic brings super futuristic looking interactions

An interesting way to use ‘virtual reality’ by creating ‘holograms’. A more immersive augmented reality. Holy crap, it looks like that Microsoft concept video that looked like a world from 2400. I hope it works as advertised. Having tried the simple “Google Cardboard” – an entry level into virtual reality – I can definitely see […]

Some Ex-Google guys have been inspired by the design of the Microsoft surface, so much so that they’ve decided to clone the entire thing but place Android on it. The Verge points out that similarities, despite being on Android, can be seen on the software too: Even the “Remix OS” rips off Microsoft’s work in […]

Here’s a video from WinBeta that shows what Cortana will be like in Windows 10. She can do all the things her windows phone version can but in this instance,  the desktop Cortana does not have access to the same databases so she cannot respond with the usual witty replies or connect to the calendar.

WTH? Windows TH (ThresHold?) spotted on Microsoft’s Windows Technical Preview site

| September 28, 2014 | 4 Replies

The name for the next Windows is surrounded in a bit of mystery. Internally called ‘Threshold’ I don’t think there has been any public reference to the name other than “technical preview”. However, TNW has noticed that the Technical Preview site says “Windows TH” and there’s been no alteration to the site above (unless it’s […]
