Microsoft's Surface: what it does, who it's for, and why we should lust after one
When several of us Tech Digest writers were present at Bill Gates’s keynotes speech at CES in Las Vegas and saw a brief display of what we now know is Surface, which Dave announced earlier this morning, none of us realised it would be released this year. Heck, we thought we were looking at the sort of space-age technology that comes hand-in-hand with flying cars and bite-sized pills for every meal.
Instead, Surface will be released into the wild (well, commercial wild, anyway) this Winter, where T-Mobile, Starwood Hotels, Harrah’s casinos and gambling-company IGN will have first access to this exciting new way of computing…
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to conduct joint-interview next week
It’s ever so humid up here in Shiny Towers, and in between alternating between draping ourselves over the rotating fans and nipping down the road for iced teas, we’ve been reading about how Steve Jobs of Apple and Bill Gates of Microsoft will be conducting a 75-minute joint interview next Wednesday the 30th with various ‘tech executives’ at the annual ‘D – All Things Digital’ conference in California.

Windows Vista Launch, London – Bill Gates Speech 3 (the one where they talk about libraries and we see The Feeling)
Still both yapping on about this new 'Turning The Pages' program that the Library can use with Vista, we're 'treated' to a short film about da Vinci, his manuscripts, and what several key historians think of the involvement with…
Windows Vista Launch London – Bill Gates Speech (the one where Kat gets it on with Bill)
Yawn. It's 10.15, they're running late, and still playing Razorlight. Still, I guess that's better than an Apple presentation, where they would no doubt blast your poor, defenseless ears with U2 and The Gorillaz. While I've got a few…
Windows Vista Launch, London – Bill Gates Speech (the one where Kat waits for it to begin)
Here I am, yet again waiting in a queue to see the great Bill Gates. For the second time in less than a month, I'm privileged enough to attend a keynote speech made by the founder of Microsoft, possibly…
Vista launch: Microsoft's latest Windows OS goes global today

Grr! Bill Gates comes out swinging for Xbox 360
Amid all the fuss around the Wii and PS3 launches, Xbox 360 has quietly continued to rack up sales in the background, boosted by new titles like Viva Pinata and Gears Of War. But Bill Gates chose a post-CES interview…
CES 2007: Bill Gates really IS walking the show floor
Yesterday at his keynote speech Bill Gates mentioned how much he loves to walk around the halls to find out who made the biggest LCD screens each year. "You? Walk the halls? Like a normal person?" we thought. Never going…
