Fresh from celebrating its 10^th anniversary, iTunes has received its latest update courtesy of Apple. The update to iTunes version 11.0.3 is not an ordinary patch either as it brings with it a bunch of new features for the media player/library.

iTunes was given a major facelift for its 11^th version and the update to 11.0.3 continues to refine and enhance that complete overhaul. Apple has improved the view for the songs tab when looking through a library, making it a cleaner experience, wh…

Windows XP is still a widely popular operating system, the second most popular on the planet in fact. Forget about Windows Vista, and certainly forget about the new Windows 8, only Windows 7 is on more PCs worldwide than XP. Nevertheless, anti-virus companies are abandoning Windows XP to concentrate fully on the newer Windows versions.

That means Windows XP, still used on some 300 million units worldwide, will be open to virus attacks. Online virus magazine Virus Bulletin has published a …

Microsoft could be set to bring back two features that have been craved by users since Windows 8 launched 6 months ago. The company could be about to update Windows 8 with the ability to boot straight to desktop, while the much missed Start button could also make a return.

The two above omissions from Windows 8 have been offered by many as the reason why the operating system has been met with a lukewarm response. Microsoft is set to release Windows Blue (or Windows 8.1) in August and repo…

Respected investment banking firm Goldman Sachs has advised investors to sell Microsoft shares today in the wake of tumbling PC figures announced yesterday. Heather Bellini, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, says that Microsoft stock has been downgraded from a neutral rating and the future looks gloomy for the software giant.

Quarterly results will "gradually deteriorate unless Microsoft successfully repositions itself as a more meaningful participant in the new era of consumer compute," Belli…

Sitting at your modern PC you may be a little shocked to know that Windows XP is still around and still going strong. While Windows Vista, 7, and 8 have all preceded XP, it is still widely used around the world, but Microsoft has announced today that it is stopping support for its aging operating system next year.

Windows XP launched way back in late September 2001 as Microsoft’s OS to modernize computing, and with its revised start menu and myriad of new features it did just that. Perhap…

Despite huge strides in recent years, China is still a hotbed for piracy and no industry is targeted more than technology. Microsoft has been a victim of piracy in China with pirated copies of its Windows operating systems commonplace in the country.

The Redmond based company has been fighting a large campaign to stop fake copies of Windows changing hands, and it has now signed a deal with Lenovo that could aid that campaign significantly. The agreement means Lenovo will ensure that all o…

Despite being less than 6 months old Microsoft is already working on its replacement for Windows 8. Windows Blue is the next version of the company’s operating system and it will be the first that will be updated on a yearly basis, much like mobile operating systems like Android and iOS.

Today we have seen an early build of Windows Blue as it is known now (we expect Windows 9 on release). Microsoft is also said to be ready to offer Windows Blue at a cheaper price than previous Windows…

Since launching last year the iMac all in one from Apple has been a tricky thing to get ones hands on. Of course, the iMac was always going to be popular, and the result has been a sold out product that only reappears sporadically, only to then sell-out quickly.

However, Apple and its production partners seem to be getting on top of the demand as today it was announced that the waiting time for an iMac is starting to fall. However, just how long the wait will be differs from country …

It is perhaps fair to call Windows 8 a hit and miss product. It has not been a complete disaster but it has hardly been a runaway success either. While sales have been a little slow, and the steep learning curve has hindered progress, users are warming to Microsoft’s new operating system. Despite saying it’s happy with Windows 8, Microsoft has started preparations for its replacement.

The development schedule and plan for what will be Windows 9 has been leaked online, and it reveals …
