Microsoft has not announced Office Web Apps for the iPhone or iPod Touch currently, but there’s a workaround to get it running on these devices. The edit link for documents isn’t there when you open them in SkyDrive on the Mobile Safari browser due to lack of support. While the experience of running OWA is very similar to how it works...

Developers are already working hard at the new Zune HD with XNA Studio 3.1, with an app ported to it from the iPhone in 12 hours. Here’s another game which is included in XNA Game Studio 3.1 and can be built to run on your Zune HD.

While there has been an app for almost everything in the App Store, it was missing an app which would let you search using Bing. The only search engine choices available in the Mobile Safari browser included in the iPhone OS are Yahoo and Google.

Almost all other browsers ( IE, Chrome, Safari ) have a new and better UI along with some sort of Windows 7 integration ( Aero Glass, jumplists, Aero Peek, thumbnail previews etc ), where as Firefox has none. The UI is still stuck in the Windows XP era. Mozilla has plans to change...

Most of the times, you need to install a codec package which can provide more issues than functionality or you have to rely on the ever useful VLC Player.

In the middle...

I’ve been a very happy user of the limited beta for Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft’s free antivirus and anti-malware software. It has been the best antivirus that I have ever used, free or paid. Well, since Microsoft Security Essentials is free, I’m sure it’ll knock out the bloated competition *cough* Norton, Mcafee, Kaspersky...
