Windows for short: Advertisements

It's Sunday, and as you know, we have the summary of the week It was moved for operating systems; Asus made the announcement that it is leaving Windows RT, at least for now. Even so, its creator company is not going to throw in the towel with the operating system, since the CEO of Nvidia said that they and Microsoft are working on the Surface RT 2.

Windows Phone was also not out of the hurricane; Joe Belfiore showed - by mistake? - an image with slight changes in the icon bar in the operating system. It is possible that this is part of the GDR3 version, which apparently is already being tested by some workers in the Microsoft offices.As for applications, Microsoft has launched four new ones for the Windows Phone store under the name of Bing Apps, which include news, sports, weather and finance. On the other hand, Xbox One had its first unboxing under the hand of Major Nelson (Xbox Live Programming Director). And for those who like reviews, this week we had the HP EliteBook Revolve 810.

But there are also news that are worth highlighting, but were not published on the web:

• This week there were quite a lot of aggressive ones: Nokia compared the camera of the Lumia 925 to that of the iPhone 5, Microsoft to the Surface RT against the iPad and continues the Scroogled campaign to bring down Gmail.
• But there were also more neutral ones, focusing on one product instead of attacking that of others, as Microsoft launched several videos showing the camera of the Lumia 1020.
• Videos aside, developers might be interested in seeing this great collection of tools for them on the blog Windows Phone. Don't lose sight of it, there are many things.
• Samsung seems to have remembered the users, because it has released exclusive applications to apply effects and colors to the photos taken.
• Sony has announced a new edition of the Vaio Duo, Fit and Pro, which have a red body color and pretty high specs to match their price.
• And finally, BusinessWeek has published an interview with Bill Gates, who comments on his solidarity work in he alth and education. An interesting read to keep in mind.

That's all, we'll see what this week holds for us in the world of Microsoft and its operating systems. As we get to September (a favorite month for smartphone launches), rumors of new handsets should start to surface.
