        • Hardware

        • Hybrids bridge the gap between the new and the old, and they're all around us.

So much for "right tool for the job."

          • Nadella claims he wants videogame exclusives to go away. This explains why Microsoft has purchased so man game studios, and why its wants Activision Blizzard. Somehow.

          • Microsoft announces its July Xbox Games with Gold titles
          • Microsoft also announced its first Game Pass titles for July
