Application tiles can be made to look smaller Background Skype
The update also allows internet call software based on VoIP (voice over internet protocol) and video chat technologies to run in the background.
This addresses a complaint that the firm's own Skype program could not be used to receive calls while its owner was using another application - a function offered on rival platforms.
The firm said VoIP calls should now "feel like any other call" made or received by Windows Phone handsets.
Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 strongly resemble each other - at least when the PC system is run under its Metro interface - and Microsoft was keen to stress that their relationship goes deeper than appearance alone.
The two will share a range of components including graphic drivers, the DirectX collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) and the NT kernel that ties application software to the hardware it is installed on. They can also both support native code in the C and C

He's got your personal data, relationship status and those pictures from last night -- now Mr. Zuckerberg is aiming for a share of your desktop, too. Facebook has released a desktop messenger client for Windows 7 that brings you access to the site's chat, ticker feed and notifications without everyone in the office spotting the blue-bar-of-lost-productivity across the top of your browser. It's currently in limited beta, so there's still time to build a rival client -- maybe with some support from the Winklevii?

Microsoft's Windows 8 developer preview greeted us with an interface steeped in Redmond's new Metro model -- its tile-centric start display screen is modern, fresh, and downright pretty. Think about our shock then, when the preview's desktop default view punted us straight again to the modern "Aero" dressing of Home windows 7. It is not an unsightly interface by any means, however shiny, translucent window frames are so last generation. Where's the model? In the large M's newest Building Windows 8 preview, of course. The MSDN blog's newest Activity Manager replace exhibits the familiar feature in a clean Metro suit. Though Aero remains to be the OS' default look, the Windows 7 basic theme has been substituted for a style closely inspired by Metro's clear tiles. The put up would not say a lot on the matter (nothing at all, actually), nevertheless it's good to see the basic interface getting a facelift to match Microsoft's new look. Wish to see more? Hit the supply link under, it's received all of the Metro window frames you would ask for.
Replace: This post initially misstated that the up to date Primary theme was a new style, but actually, it's already out there within the Home windows 8 developer preview.

Let's be honest: with the size of a brick and a relatively quick battery life, it is no shock that ITG's xpPhone hasn't fairly dominated the smartphone market since its launch back in November. In fact, we've not even seen one in the wild, and we actually wouldn't have missed it if there ever was one on the street. That said, ITG hasn't given up, as the company's just announced its second-era Windows-powered smartphone. The rationale? Effectively, interestingly sufficient, ITG prefers Home windows' larger vary of appropriate software in comparison with these of cellular OSes, specifically Android and iOS. Let's just go away it at that for now.
Simply dubbed the xpPhone 2, this beast of a QWERTY slider packs a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 chip, together with 2GB RAM, up to 112GB of SSD storage, 4.3-inch display and compatibility with both Windows 7 and Windows eight -- obviously the latter OS will depend upon its final launch date. Not solely has battery life been bumped up to round 18 hours of call time or forty six days on standby, however the cellphone's additionally been slimmed down to 140mm x 73mm x 17.5mm, which is a large enchancment compared to its cumbersome predecessor. With the contact-friendly Windows 8 on board together with a non-underclocked CPU, we've got a feeling that the xpPhone 2 will a minimum of fare significantly better than Fujitsu's F-07C; as for the rest, we will see when it comes out in January next year. And no, it probably will not run Crysis.
