    Better on the inside: under the hood of Windows 8

    Well, IE10 will be backported to Windows 7, and it may rely on some of these features (it certainly relies on other Win8-specific things), so I'd expect some of them might be.

    Windows 8 to integrate cloud services, ditch Windows Live branding

    Nintendo pinning hopes on 3DS sales to turn around historic annual loss

    I think Nintendo's real problem with the DS is that people see it as a device solely for young children - the software selection doesn't exactly help. They need more FPSes, I think. There are plenty of people who grew up with Nintendo who'll want to play Zelda and Mario again (and they can...

    Firefox for Windows 8 beginning to take shape

    Windows on ARM is just an ARM port of Windows. The Windows API is still there, after all, Microsoft's own apps rely on it. Heck, the Metro UI and APIs are built on top of it. Firefox will work fine.

    Microsoft offers free cloud backup beta for Windows Server "8"

    State of the Browser: Chrome closes on Firefox, IE6 dying out

    You're wrong too I'm afraid. It isn't a true browser. It receives a super-compressed proprietary format "page" from Opera's servers. What you're thinking of is Opera Turbo.
