Not until 2015, but it is pretty cool that they are creating a big campus in Denmark in close proximity to DTU. Microsoft i Danmark rykker teltpælene op og samler alle sine aktiviteter i et nybygget domicil i Lyngby nord for København.Det nye danske hovedkvarter skal efter planen stå klar til indflytning i 2015. Det betyder samtidig, at Microsofts 900 danske medarbejdere må vinke farvel til deres to nuværende arbejdsadresser – Tuborg Havn i Hellerup, som i dag huser det danske salgskontor og udviklingscenteret i Vedbæk.Aftalen om det nye byggeri blev i dag endeligt godkendt på et byrådsmøde i Lyngby-Taarbæk...
It seems like the latest update to Outlook.com crashes Outlook on Windows 8. As soon as I remove my Outlook.com account it works fine – except for the less than stellar IMAP support implementation. Does anybody have a fix for this? I tried @outlook.com on Twitter and they suggested creating a new profile, which seems to do trick, at least for now. But it seems as if it’s the calendar update that messed with the EAS protocol. Udate: Turns out my domain provider changed the IMAP server, so after I reconfigured the mail settings and rotted the inbox folder everyting...
Word around the campfire is that MIcrosoft might open retail stores in Europe some time next year. I have absolutely no doubt about the lack of stores in Denmark, but one can hope. I for one would welcome our new American overlords, mainly because the retail experience in the MIcrosoft/PC side of things is really really bad here in Denmark. At least the Apple guys have a couple of fairly good alternatives to the Apple store. Unfortuantely for those of us, who have did not drink the cool aid, we have to make do with the hell that is Fona, Elgiganten etc....
I have tried to use Metro as much as possible lately, mainly because enlightenment kept eluding me. For some reason I could never really get the hang of it, which made me think that using Metro the desktop was a bad idea. I am nothing if not stubborn, so instead of giving up, I have been using Metro as my primary desktop for a couple of days now. To be perfectly honest, I like it more and more. My main concern was running multiple apps and switching between these. Normally I have a bunch of apps running at the same...
I know we are not supposed to call the new interface Metro, but since that is how we have always talked about it, I think we will keep it for now. So, the metro interface of Windows 8 has gotten its fair share of criticism lately. There are also a lot of people who like, however, why listen to others when you can try for yourself? Personally, I really like the Metro tiles on my Windows Phone; as far as I am concerned, it is much better than iOS, which I use on my iPad. The interface is designed for...
I finally got around to installing the 90 day trial version of Windows 8 and Office 2013 this weekend. I have used the preview a little bit on an extra partition, but I have decided to go all in and only run Windows 8 on my machine. I like metro a lot on the Windows Phone, however, I have not been totally sold on the desktop, so now I am going to give it a real shot and try to work with it on an everyday basis. I did a clean installation, which took around 15 minutes I’d guess, which...
I am a huge Live Tiles fan, so I was clapping my little hands when I saw the new UI for Windows Phone 8. As can be seen on the screenshot, it is now possible to resize the titles as desired, meaning that there are now three sizes of tiles, and you can change all tiles just like on Windows 8. As far as I know, there are no new hardware news yet, since yesterday’s summit was solely focused on the developers. However, I am pretty sure we will soon see some new hand sets from Nokia, HTC and probably...
I just grabbed the official images of the Surface tablet and have posted them below. I know it makes no sense to repost them, but hey, why not? Personally, I think they look pretty nice, but I am not sure about the hardware though. It looks very business-like as opposed to the omnipresent iPad, which definitely looks like a consumer product. On the other hand, the software looks and feels so much better than iOS that I think it will more than make up for it in the end. Surface VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL
I guess the rumors were true. I think it looks pretty cool.
The plot really thickens as we get closer to Microsoft’s mystery announcement later today. Most people seem to think that we will see a Microsoft branded tablet, which apparently makes a lot of sense. I guess it makes sense for Microsoft to keep control of the hardware as well as the software, instead of relying on partners to do the work. The Kin and the Zune are the best examples of vendor driven hardware that has failed. In more ways than one, this marks a radical departure from Microsoft’s strategy hitherto, and considering how difficult it has been for Dell,...
