Comments Off on Microsoft to unveil new tablet devices at CES 2011, one with slideout keyboard

Bill Gates has long been a champion of tablet computing, yet as luck would have it, and as is often the case, the market for tablet computing never really took off until Apple decided to throw its hat into the ring.

The photo above is the default background in Windows 7, and we can’t lie, it’s pretty snazzy.  The actual […]

Comments Off on Microsoft pulls out of Windows 7 themed episode of Family Guy

After seeing a rough cut of a Windows 7 themed episode of Family Guy, Microsoft has axed the promotion/sponsorship over concerns that the subject matter of the episode was far too racy and offensive to be associated with the Windows brand.
