Ding Dong, the (web) glitch is (almost) dead! In news that will please web developers the world over, Microsoft is calling time for support of their aging browser in all of its apps. Internet Explorer once reigned supreme in the browser world. However, as far as Microsoft are now concerned, it's days are literally numbered.

These days, there's a 3rd certainty to add to death and taxes - software updates. Microsoft is providing a sneak peak at the next series of changes to their evergreen Office suite that people will invariably hate at first and then complain is changing in a few years, such is the relentless circle of software life.

While Microsoft's completely rewritten version of their Edge internet browser has been available for a few months now, users have previously had to deliberately download it. This is no longer the case as it is now being pushed out via Windows Update. The question is, for those that have ignored it up until now, is it worth another look?

It used to be the case that if someone sent an email, that email would almost certainly have been sent from a single device that person owned.

Users of Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system may notice a big change later this month. The company will be pushing out their new version of Microsoft Edge to all users in January. This isn't an incremental update, it's a wholesale rewrite that marks the end of an era for the firm.

As well as revealing that their Teams collaboration / messaging app is now attracting over 20 million daily users, Microsoft have also gazed into their crystal ball and have outlined some potentially useful new features coming to the software in the coming months.

Avid readers of our blog may have noticed that we haven't yet created an article detailing what new features will be rolling out in what would usually be the next big twice-annual update that is due in early Autumn. There's a good reason for this...

For the first time, Microsoft have announced the number of people currently using their Teams software. This blog takes a look at these figures, and adds some context outlining Microsoft's recent rise from their doldrums at the turn of the decade.

Microsoft is ringing in the changes with their currently unloved Edge internet browser. Edge is the replacement for the once world-conquering Internet Explorer. However, stats suggest it isn't even coming close to reducing Chrome's current stranglehold on the market. So Microsoft is planning to take the best bits of Chrome and turn it into something new. Literally.
