Picks

Software pick of the week: Outlook.com

Microsoft's replacement for Hotmail is a winner. I was happy switching from Gmail to Hotmail. But with Outlook.com, it's a no brainer, and the integration with Microsoft services--Office Web Apps, SkyDrive, Skype, and more--puts it over the top for anyone using Windows.

Tip of the week: Switch to Outlook.com the smart way

I'm going to be posting a tip for Outlook.com each day for at least the next week. I'm in contact with Microsoft about switching/porting/migrating issues, so sit tight.

Enterprise pick of the week: Project Online

There's a new member of the Office 365 family in test and coming with the Office 15 wave.

Rumor of the week: Metro is a banned word in Redmond

Why is Microsoft's favorite design language being deemphasized? Or is it?
