Adobe Photoshop Express Now Available on Windows Store for Windows 8 and RT
There's no reason for Windows 8 and Windows RT to be treated like second class citizens, so why isn't Adobe's free Photoshop Express program available for either platform when you can grab it on iOS or Android?

Dell Slashes Price of XPS 10 with Windows RT to $300
It's probably a bit premature to play Taps whenever the topic turns to Windows RT, but at the rate things are going, someone may want to type up an obituary just in case (Acer would be game).

Toshiba Claims Microsoft "Confused" Tablet Buyers with Windows 8
As we noted earlier, Windows 8's reception to date has been tepid at best. As much of a train-wreck that many considered Vista to be, even it had greater adoption six months after launch. There are multiple factors that can be blamed here, with one at the forefront being Microsoft's new-fangled Start screen. Many... Read More
Acer President Sees "No Value" in Windows RT Tablets
If there's one company that isn't afraid to speak its mind and be totally blunt, it's definitely Acer, especially when the topic revolves around Windows-based tablets.

Microsoft Exec Sings High Praise for ARM and Windows RT, Downplays Legacy App Support
Surface RT tablet sales haven't exactly been through the roof. Out of the 1.5 million Surface tablet sales to date, a million of them belong to Surface RT, falling well short of Microsoft's expectations, assuming it's true that the Redmond outfit ordered 3 million Surface RT slates. Is Windows RT to blame? It's a bit too... Read More
Does Windows RT Have A Future? Samsung Cancels More Tablet Launches As Uncertainty Rises
When Microsoft announced that it would build an entirely separate version of Windows for ARM processors in 2011, it galvanized the entire computing industry.

HTC Preps Windows RT Tablets to Compete with iPad
HTC's first love affair is with Android, but that doesn't mean the mobile handset and tablet maker isn't willing to flirt with Windows.

Nokia Resumes Development of Windows RT Tablet

Analysts Slash Surface Sales Estimates
We've always known that Microsoft's Surface had an uphill fight ahead of it.
