Free Microsoft Office Web Apps: August 2010 - In addition to the release of Office 2010 (see below), Microsoft have added Office Web Apps (similar to Google Docs), so if you have a Hotmail account or Windows Live ID, simply log in and click on the Office link at the top. This allows you to move files to the "Skydrive" (an online "disc" with 25Gb free space), and edit them with online versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint or OneNote. If you would like more information, please contact us.

iPhone/iPad users warned not to 'jail break' their devices: 8 July 2010 - If you want to run Flash on your iPhone or iPad, you can - but the penalty might be a device infected with malware! See this link for more information.

iPad: June 2010 - The launch of the iPad has stirred up the market, positioning itself somewhere between a (very) smartphone and a (very) light netbook. We have played with and set up the iPad and iPhones, along with Blackberry and Windows smartphones for business and personal use so you can always get at your email, diary and contacts information wherever you are. Please contact us if you are thinking of buying one, or would like more information.

Office 2010: June 2010 - A new version of Office 2010 has been launched, and while it's probably not worth replacing 2007, if you've got 2003 or prior versions, it might be worth it - check out the new features here. We can supply new or upgraded versions of Office 2010, in addition to most other software and hardware. Please contact us if you would like more information.

Windows XP support: April 2010 -Please be aware that support for some versions of Microsoft Windows XP and Vista is ending. If you are using Windows Vista with no service pack, it ended on 13th April 2010, and for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 it will end on 13 July 2010. These systems will no longer officially be supported by Microsoft, and will not receive Windows Updates after these dates, but they will carry on working in their current states. For a full rundown on what this means please visit Microsoft here.
