Windows 8 vs iOS 5: War of The Betas

Technically Windows 8 is not even in beta yet but who cares as long as it looks this good.

The video shows some basic UI elements and some OS settings in both platforms.

I am loving what was shown of Windows 8 so far and just can’t wait to see more of it.

Windows 8 in Action

Microsoft released a video showing an operating version of Windows 8. The Metro UI is a great touch-screen skin. I love it on the Windows Phone 7 and it looks great here. also, Microsoft seems to have got multitasking exactly right for tablets according to the video.

Halo Reach

After pondering the thought if its legal to play or not before the official release date. I finally got to play the game on the 15th 1 day after the release date and a whole week after purchasing it. that was due not having enough time to get my game on.

After playing for a couple of days I finally got to complete the campaign. First few levels were co-op and then completed the what remained by my self in the solo campaign and left my buddy hanging.

The game was brilliant. If you are a Halo or a FPS fan then this is a must have.

Microsoft Announces Kin One & Two

In today’s “It Time To Share” event. Microsoft announced the long rumored “Project Pink” devices. Its nothing that extravagant, its based on some variation of Windows Phone 7, so what we are seeing here is a very cool integration with social media networks and “should” be in the upcoming Windows Phone 7.

Its only going to be on Verizon so no GSM version just yet. Don’t think anyone will be disappointed though.
