Zune HD Ready For September 5th Shipping
May 31, 2009
Get ready your money, boys and girls! A Microsoft guru has let loose that the Zune HD will be making its way to retail stores that September 5, 2009. It will be interesting to see whether that purported term will be accurate or not, but we guess all you need to do now is sit and wait - as expanded as you have the dough to pick one up, that is. Apple fanboys, would you be willing to give the Zune HD a chance?

Windows 7 Starter Edition Will Not Limit Apps
May 31, 2009
Microsoft has recently confirmed that their final release of the Windows 7 Starter Edition won’t be gimped, which means you can open more than 3 applications simultaneously. that is definitely a smart move by Microsoft, since life would be pretty firm living with just a trio of applications open at once. Even the most basic computer user would want to have at least an MP3 player running in the background alongside a browser, and what about those who need to type out documents while referring to a spreadsheet simultaneously? Let’s just hope the current economic recession won’t affect the pricing of Starter Edition adversely.
