Microsoft and Adobe to partner for casual game development on Windows 8

We hardly see Microsoft and Adobe partnering with each other, but here it is. Adobe is finally shutting down its Flash platform, which rivaled with Microsoft’s Silverlight.

Five types of software to install on a new Windows PC

Microsoft has been the major and the most profited (I guess) player in the computer market. Apple has its Mac series of desktop computers and MacBook series of laptop computers which run on Mac OS.
