Microsoft completes Hotmail to Outlook.com upgrade, SkyDrive integration rolling out
Author: Jack Schmidt
Microsoft announced on Thursday that it has now completed its Hotmail to Outlook.com upgrade. Over 400 million active accounts are now using the service, with Microsoft having migrated 150 petabytes of email data in just over six weeks. Alongside the milestone, Outlook.com is getting two new features: SMTP send and improved SkyDrive integration.
Improved SkyDrive integration and SMTP send
SMTP send allows Outlook.com accounts to send email directly through another email account’s SMTP server. In the past Outlook.com has supported this by using a “send on behalf” feature, but now email will send directly to recipients. “We knew this was a pain point for some people,” explains Microsoft’s Dick Craddock. “So now we’ve made it so that…

No Comments »Nintendo to Wii owners: the Wii U is an entirely new system, not just an upgrade
Author: Brittany Turner
The difference between the Wii and Wii U are readily apparent to most contemporary gamers, but some consumers are having trouble telling them apart. “Some have the misunderstanding that the Wii U is just Wii with a pad for games,” Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told Investors last week, “others even consider Wii U GamePad as a peripheral device connectable to Wii.” Nintendo is eager to clear up the confusion, of course, and pushed a notification to internet connected Wii consoles stating it plainly. “Wii U is the all-new home console from Nintendo. It’s not just an upgrade — it’s an entirely new system that will change the way you and your family experience games and entertainment.” The note also assures readers that their Wii accessories will work on the new console, and gives a brief run down of the console’s selling points: the Wii U GamePad, backwards compatibility and HD graphics. The humble message probably isn’t enough to repair the damage done by product’s nearly identical names, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. Check out the full statement after the break.

Author: Mark Jeffries
Microsoft is preparing to name its “Windows Blue” upgrade as Windows 8.1. ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley first unveiled the name, but The Verge has confirmed with its own sources that Microsoft will name Windows 8.1 as the upgrade to Windows 8. The upgrade will include a number of improvements to the operating system that are not usually distributed in Service Packs.

Microsoft will release its first Windows 8.1 public preview at its Build developer conference in late June. The software maker opened up registration for the conference today, and tickets are expected to sell out fast. Windows 8.1 will be part of the agenda, but…

Author: Jade Kim
We already knew that that Windows Blue, Microsoft’s forthcoming OS update that will put the Windows platform on a low-cost, yearly update schedule, was scheduled to launch sometime later this year. Now, we’re seeing the first official mention of Windows Blue via a job posting on Microsoft’s careers site. The job is for a software development engineer who will join the “Core Experience team” to work on “most of what customers touch and see in the OS.” The first paragraph of the listing reads (relavent areas bolded for emphasis):
We’re looking for an excellent, experienced SDET to join the Core Experience team in Windows Sustained Engineering (WinSE). The Core Experience features are the centerpiece of the new Windows UI, representing…

No Comments »Windows Blue will reportedly put most Microsoft products on a yearly upgrade cycle
Author:
We knew that Microsoft was preparing Windows Blue in an attempt to put its flagship desktop and mobile operating systems on a yearly upgrade cycle — but now ZDNet is reporting that it is part of a company-wide initiative to update a number of different Microsoft services. According to the report, Blue may update services like Skydrive, Hotmail, and others, as well as Windows Server. The slew of updates aren’t expected to hit the same day, but will likely all launch in the summer or fall of this year.
The new initiative could make Microsoft more competitive with rivals Apple and Google, both of whom follow a yearly upgrade schedule for their products. As it currently stands, Microsoft’s upgrade schedule is erratic and slow in…

Why Amtrak’s 4G upgrade isn’t likely to make on-train Wi-Fi any more reliable
Author: Jon Daniels
Amtrak this week revealed strategies to upgrade its on-train Wi-Fi backbone to 4G, declaring the enhanced infrastructure will provide faster rates and a more reliable hookup for tourists. The initial half of that appears sensible enough; LTE from Verizon and AT&T (Amtrak counts on both carriers to accomplish across the country Wi-Fi) will undoubtedly enhance download speeds for those utilizing smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers aboard the company’s trains. But as The Atlantic points out, reliability remains an additional matter entirely– one that won’t always be solved by 4G.
The intermittent hookup hiccups commuters frequently complain about are more most likely the outcome of cell tower placement instead of any deficiency with the technologies Amtrak …

Windows 8 upgrade diary: multiple monitors make my mouse mad
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
Tune into the chatter around Windows 8 and it won’t be long before you begin hearing about keyboard faster ways. Rather of obliging us to duplicate long swipe motions utilizing a mouse (which would be harsh to all concerned), Microsoft is advancing these little vital combos as the major means of navigation on traditional desktop computer PCs that don’t have touchscreens. Right now, I’m in the center of trying to adjust to this– and like our Windows 8 testimonial concludes, the curve is steep. In my instance, matters are complexed by the reality that I make use of a triple-monitor setup for work, which perhaps makes me much more sensitive to UI problems. But no matter how lots of displays are hooked up to it, there genuinely are some interface niggles in this OS. Despite having understood the basic faster ways, I’m still having to reach for my mouse way too frequently, and the arm pains is beginning to dampen the great vibes left over from my last diary post. So, join me after the break and at the really least you’ll get to note someone flailing around in search of answers.
