Windows 8 is finished! Microsoft have just announced it in two blog posts, and I recommend you read both to get the full picture. You can find them here and here.
And some dates! MSDN and TechNet subscribers can get their hands on 15th August, not the rumoured 1st September that I’ve previously blogged about. And there are some more dates in the second blog post mentioned.]
So, hurry up 26th October!
A lot of people were getting confused when switching to the amazing Outlook.com mail, but someone has helpfully put a forum post on The Verge explaining how to switch and how to get an awesome new @outlook.com address. I recommend you view it:

I personally find Outlook to be 5 stars – yes, I am a bit of a Microsoft fan but reviewers are also saying this is quite good, so do give it a try. Remember, you can always switch back to Hotmail for a while (providing you had a Hotmail account in the first place – if you created a brand new Outlook account, you won’t be able to) though eventually this will replace Hotmail. RIP. But it’s time to move on – when a service is 16 years old, especially an internet service, it needs a refresh.
Who’s signed up for Outlook? And what do you think?
