June 5, 2013 at 7:12 pm Microsoft announced that Outlook 2013 RT will be coming to Windows RT, along with the Windows 8.1 update. Sales of Windows RT tablets like the Surface RT have been underwhelming thus far, but Outlook will change that.
When the Windows 8.1 update comes to the Windows Store later this year, Outlook RT will join Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote as a free app on Windows RT systems. That is huge news in general, but it’s particularly intriguing for business users.

June 4, 2013 at 7:12 am Windows 8.1—previously known by its code name “Windows Blue—is a major update for the Windows 8 operating system, and it will include a number of features that should render the operating system more appealing to business customers and IT admins.
Although Microsoft isn’t calling it a service pack, the scope and timing of Windows 8.1 are similar to what we’ve come to expect from a Service Pack 1 update: It “fixes” bugs and issues with the original OS, and it adds new features and capabilities that users have asked for.

Microsoft on Wednesday announced that it has completed the first phase of its Lync-Skype integration, allowing more than five million Lync enterprise users to connect to Skype’s base of 300 million accounts.
For now, users are confined to instant messages and audio calls. Additional features, such as video chat, are scheduled to come online later, but even in its incomplete form, Microsoft’s growing unified communications platform already has the attention of at least one major competitor — Cisco, which argued before a European Union court Wednesday that Microsoft’s purchase of Skype constitutes a monopoly.
