The $120 Windows 8 tablet finally emerges at IFA 2014: Can Microsoft take on Android?
2014-09-03 13:41:53| Extremetech
IFA 2014 kicked off in Berlin this morning, and already we're seeing an interesting trend emerge: Those cheap-and-cheerful small-screen Windows 8 tablets that Microsoft promised back in April are finally arriving. Both Toshiba and Acer have announced their offerings (priced at $120 and $150 respectively), and the usual OEM suspects (Dell, HP, etc.) should unveil their offerings over the next couple of days. These tablets will all be fairly low-spec devices with either a 7- or 8-inch screen, and most of them will be powered by an Intel Atom (Bay Trail) SoC. This means you can now get a full Windows 8.1 device for just $120 -- a proposition so juicy that Microsoft hopes it can entice customers away from cheap Android tablets and into the Windows camp.

Microsoft teases Windows 9 with awful logo mockup, confirms its coming soon
2014-09-02 16:25:30| Extremetech
In a rather odd turn of events, Microsoft China has posted a Windows 9 teaser on Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. The teaser, which featured a rather awful fan-made Windows 9 wallpaper, was quickly removed. The post by Microsoft China clearly stated that Windows 9 is 'coming soon,' all but confirming that we'll get our first look at Windows 9 at a special event later this month (probably September 30).

Windows 8's uptake climbs but still trails Vista's
2014-09-02 14:22:36| InfoWorld: Top News
Windows 8's uptake came unstuck last month and shoved into a forward gear for the first time since May, but the OS trailed Windows Vista's tempo of six years ago, according to data published Monday. Web analytics firm Net Applications' numbers for August put the combined user share of Windows 8 and 8.1 at 13.4 percent of the world's desktop and notebook systems, an increase of nine-tenths of a percentage point from July. That gain was the first since May and the largest since April, and followed two straight months of declines -- the first ever for the OS.
