This week on tech, Windows 8.1 released to manufacturers and even though Microsoft is limiting access to the bits, a Chinese and English version of the operating system already leaked onto the web. Foursquare app arrives to the Windows Store and it is the first designed for large screens — the app is available for download now.
As we get closer to the launch of 8.1 to get you ready, I already wrote a new guide to help you update to the next version of the OS coming from any previous version, including 7 and XP — I recommend you to check it out.
Finally, this week, Microsoft makes available the Fall Xbox 360 dashboard update, perhaps the most significant change is the transition from Microsoft Points to local currency. And finally the company starts offering Touch Cover for Surface tablet $40 cheaper. All this and more.
Welcome to Pureinfotech: Tech Recap edition. Each weekend I will bring you a compilation of articles of the week, including how-to guides, features, tech news, and more. This is simply a list with a brief description of pieces you might have missed or you might just want to read again.
