One month with the Microsoft Surface - Week 4

‘One month with the Microsoft Surface’ is a series of 4 experience reviews that will be released on a weekly basis for the period of a month. They will be based on my experience with the Surface. These are not traditional reviews and will not cover every little detail of the device but rather what it’s like to own one. The aim is to leave you with a more intimate and true to life view of owning the device and hopefully factor in on your buying decision.

This is the final piece of the ‘One month with the Microsoft Surface’ experience reviews. First off, I’d like to apologize for the delay. Unexpected travel requirements are to blame mostly, not to mention Bloggers horrible editing tools, which kept messing the format up whenever I tried to upload the article. But it’s done now, and because I’ve been working on it more recently, I did manage to include some of the latest happenings in the world of Surface so without further ado, let’s get started.

From Mobile: Windows Phone In-Depth

Windows Phone, Microsoft's latest phone OS has been causing a fair amount of ripples in the mobile space lately, whether those ripples will turn into full blown tsunamis of interest and adoption is yet to be seen. Early adopters have praised the platform for its originality, simplicity and elegance, but criticized its young app ecosystem. However, one thing's for sure; Windows Phone is 'too big to fail'. The software giant will continue to dump cash into the OS until it clicks. So it definitely makes for an interesting platform to watch. Below are some excerpts from the latest reviews from our sister site.

A look at the unreleased Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade

"...they promised us an update, an update that would bring down some prominent WP8 features to existing devices. They called this update Windows Phone 7.8. In this review, we’ll be covering the new updates and features that Microsoft and Nokia packed into WP7.8 for the Nokia Lumia 900."

A full review of Nokia's latest flagship, the Lumia 920

"The Lumia 920 runs Windows Phone 8, Microsofts latest version of their mobile operating system. Having used Windows Phone 7.5 for over a year,WP8, just like the Lumia 920, has received improvements in almost every aspect. From the revamped Start Screen all the way down to the OS core underneath."

Windows 8, first impressions by Korneel

Last Friday I bought Windows 8 on impulse. Mostly because I wanted to get rid of vista and a little bit because I wanted to review it later on. After using it on Friday and Saturday, I can give a few first impressions, but by no means a complete review.

The Next Milestone: Windows 8 Release Preview is here

Microsoft have just released their next major Windows 8 milestone, the Windows 8 Release Preview (build 8400) is now available for public download directly from Microsoft. It includes a bunch of new features over the previous Consumer Preview that was released in February this year. Following this release, Windows 8 is expected to hit RTM by August and general availability with Windows 8 PC's available in stores before the holiday season.

Windows Phone 8, which will be based on Windows 8 all the way down to its kernel, is also expected to launch alongside the new OS and its ARM counterpart Windows RT. The three will serve as the beginning of Microsoft's platform unification strategy to provide a seamless, synchronized user experience on the phone, tablet and PC.
