Tip of the week: Learn to Use Windows 8 with a mouse and keyboard

I've been publishing a series of Tips articles for using Windows 8 on the PCs we already have. Surprise! It works great, especially if you know the secrets to mouse and keyboard usage.

 

Software pick of the week: Metro UI Tweaker

Enterprise pick of the week: Visual Studio 2012

Codename pick of the week: OfficeTalk
