Microsoft Brings In More Games, PS4 Games Still Unaffected



The software giant is working hard towards making Xbox one a success but analysts believe PS4 is still going to lead the game

It is not a hidden fact that Microsoft Corporation has been behind Sony Corporation in the gaming business, trying to beat the rival by making more and more games but so far, it has failed to do so. Sony’s most famous product, the Play Station series, has been the most popular gaming device for traditional gamers who have never known to feel the need to opt for another gaming source for a great gaming experience as the PS gave them just that.
The PS4, the fourth one in the line, has also managed to help tech company regain a top position in the tech industry. However, Bill Gates’ tech giant has also given in its contribution in the industry by launching Xbox which also managed to get a lot of popularity for all the different gaming features and options that it had to offer to the users, according to latest Microsoft news.
On an overall level, PS4 has always managed to top the list with Xbox being on the second, due to many important things that Microsoft business failed to do. The Xbox has always had a lower than needed popularity level which has also effected the sales of the product. However, the software giant is now looking towards bringing a change in that department as it has relatively been working really hard to make the device one of the most sought after for the gamers. It has been taking quite  a lot of steps lately in order to make sure that the sales of the new version of the gadget does not go down on any level and manages to go past the rivals on all levels.
Analysts are also discussing how Microsoft games for the Xbox have been much more inclined towards attracting gamers that are hardcore and are more into games than the amateur ones, which is believed to be a step that is taken quite positively, according to recent Microsoft updates. Also, the firm has also been launching more games than before which shows that it really has been putting in a struggle to make things work for its gaming device. New games are also being launched which include Rise of the Tomb Raider along with the Fable Legends which has proved to be quite exciting for traditional gamers.
Sony, on the other hand, worked its way up quite successfully at the E3 conference and also announced that it will be releasing a number of much awaited games soon, but did not give any specific date for it. Analysts, however, believe that this is still not going to change the fact that it still has better quality software to offer to users and is still ahead of Microsoft’s Xbox.

Microsoft Is Replicating Apple's Emoji


Microsoft launched several emoticon's in Windows 10 that resemble Apple's Emoji

Microsoft Corp. is one of those companies that have evolved in a fairly short span of time. The company had been stumbling since a while now where all Microsoft products and services had been abandoned by consumers. However, things have changed to a great extent now since they are not only trying to come up with two ranges of products one similar to top notch brands and the other that are focused to attract users who wish to opt for cheap yet luxurious smartphones.
Moreover, similar to Apple the company has also started to roll out free updates on its operating system to attract the masses, according tot latest Microsoft news. Lastly, a major concern with Microsoft was that the company could not pursue developers to come up with more apps. However, at this point they are actually forcing more developers to engage with Windows operating system platform.
Another major advancement that will certainly make Microsoft users happy is the new emoji in Windows 10 that are quite similar to the emoji’s found in Apple products like iPhone, Mac, iPad etc. These new emoticons include a wide array of smileys and faces along with “sassy” office personnel. This is not it, but the upgrade also includes the skin tone changes which Apple has recently updated in its new software update. Along with this there are more similar emoticons like haircut and middle finger emoticons etc. however, Microsoft has still not upgraded to country flags yet on its new operating system.
Microsoft’s beta version of Windows 10, as reported by latest Microsoft news today is currently available only for developers and will soon make its way for the masses by July, the fiscal year of 2015. The company is satisfied with the latest operating system and is expected to provide users with a diverse experience ensuring platform integration. This will actually make it easy for users to leave one device and switch on another from the point the user left. It is also said, that the company’s software update will be actually free of cost for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for the first year of service.
Most of the emoji characters have been transformed into a Unicode, this has actually resulted in the icons to be standardized on several forums that also include operating systems like Windows, OS X, Android, iOS , Windows etc. so now how exactly the emoticons will appear actually depends on industry giants like Twitter, Microft, Apple and Google.  So now considering the possibilities Microsoft has modified its emoticons and they are far more cleaner than Apple’s emoji collection.
