We are missing another week in Xataka Windows, and that means that another compilation of Windows in short has arrived to take a look to the most outstanding news from the Microsoft world in recent days. Among them is the decoration of the Surface Pro 3 as the best convertible laptop within the Xataka Awards, Microsoft's announcement that FLAC will be supported in Windows 10, and the more than 50 free albums that Redmond gives us in these weeks thanks to the Music Deals app.
Along with this we have new previews of VLC for Windows Phone, which despite its delay seems to be coming, and the Windows 10 Consumer Preview, which has been released on the net with some visual changes.But since there is also other small news that we have not managed to comment on during the week, so we take advantage of telling you about them below.

To close, we leave you with an analysis by Paul Thurrott about Microsoft&39;s possible intentions with the purchase of Acompli. According to Thurrott, Redmonders would like to create an Outlook Mobile, which integrates calendar and contacts along with intelligent mail management, and is available for all mobile platforms ( very much in line with Mobile first, Cloud first)."
