Windows 8.1 multi-monitor Desktop hands-on review (video)
2013-07-03 16:39:22| Extremetech
A week ago, Microsoft released Windows 8.1 Preview, an upgrade to Windows 8 that makes the new operating system a lot more usable for Desktop users, and users who prefer to use a mouse and keyboard. I've now been running the Preview for a week on a dual-monitor mouse-and-keyboard setup, and except for a couple of small bugs it's a surprisingly large improvement over Windows 8.1.

Android's Audacious Desktop Debut
2013-07-01 14:00:00| TechNewsWorld
Well temperatures have climbed discouragingly of late here in the Northern reaches of the Linux blogosphere, with the result that there's been standing room only down at the frostily air-conditioned Broken Windows Lounge. Linux Girl's most dreaded month is upon us, so it's time to hunker down with a chilly beverage and while away the dog days of summer chewing the fat with fellow FOSS fans.

Windows 8.1 Desktop review: Its finally safe to upgrade from Windows 7, folks
2013-06-27 18:26:13| Extremetech
Yesterday, Microsoft released the preview version of Windows 8.1. I've now been using it for almost 24 hours on my main desktop PC with two monitors (neither of them touchscreens), and I can safely say that Windows 8.1 drastically improves the experience for mouse-and-keyboard users, and users who do most of their work on the Desktop. SkyDrive integration is awesome, the Start button -- despite the lack of Start menu -- is surprisingly functional, and improved split-screening means Desktop users can now actually use Metro apps without being forced into full-screen mode.

Windows RT 8.1: Still slow, still plagued by the Desktop, still useless
2013-06-27 12:56:07| Extremetech
Despite an additional year of trying to get Windows RT right, the ARM version of Windows 8.1 remains sluggish on the Surface RT -- and by association, any other Windows RT tablet powered by the Tegra 3 SoC. Despite its status as a vestigial stump, the Desktop remains -- and you still can't run anything other than a handful of Microsoft-approved Desktop apps. Some changes, such as the ability to side-by-side apps and the beefed up Metro Control Panel, make Windows RT more usable -- but in reality, these updates are meaningless until some updated, faster hardware arrives.
