Should Microsoft kill Windows Phone and switch to Android?

2014-02-07 19:31:35| Extremetech

I've just had an interesting idea. What if Microsoft's new CEO, Satya Nadella, drops Windows Phone in favor of Android? This might seem crazy, given the amount of time and money that Microsoft has put into Windows Phone -- but desperate times call for desperate measures, right? Adding credence to this idea is the Nokia X (codenamed Normandy) -- a Lumia-style phone that runs Android. This mid-range phone, despite Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia, still looks like it's going to come to market this spring. Is it possible that Microsoft is waiting to see how the Nokia X does, before making a decision on the continuation of Windows Phone?

Microsoft finds a few XP bugs to crush in next week's short slate of security patches

2014-02-07 14:18:25| InfoWorld: Top News

Microsoft Thursday said it will issue five security updates next week, two tagged as "critical," to close holes in Windows and the company's Exchange-based Forefront Protection 2010 security software. Three of the four updates for Windows will affect Windows XP, the 13-year-old operating system that Microsoft plans to retire from patching support on April 8. After next week's Patch Tuesday, Microsoft has just two more rounds of security updates on its schedule before it pulls the plug on the aged OS.
