Alienware Alpha is the first Steam Machine but it runs Windows, and comes with a normal Xbox 360 gamepad
2014-08-13 15:01:36| Extremetech
Alienware has announced that its Steam Machine -- the Alienware Alpha -- will be available in November for $550. Curiously, though, the Alpha -- which should be the first commercially available Steam Machine -- won't ship with Valve's purpose-built Steam Controller. The Alpha also won't ship with SteamOS. In fact, the Alienware Alpha is basically just a mid-spec Windows 8.1 PC that boots straight into Steam Big Picture Mode. Considering Steam Machines were meant to usher in a new era of Linux-based living room game consoles, with a magical gamepad that makes PC games playable from your couch, what exactly is Alienware playing at?

Microsoft tweaks Windows to lure Internet of things market, maker community
2014-08-13 12:00:00| InfoWorld: Top News
Hoping to cover all its bases in the emerging IoT (Internet of things) market, Microsoft is proffering a helping hand to "makers," DIYers, hardware hackers, and other builders of things that may one day end up on the Internet. Microsoft is shipping a pared-down version of Windows on an Intel Galileo development board in hopes of extending Windows' reach further into smart devices and Internet-connected appliances.
