But the week hasn't just gone by remembering what the year has given of itself and we've also had important news.In Spain, Google has been a protagonist by announcing the closure of its Google News service following the approval of the so-called canon AEDE Also The Pirate Bay has closed (or been forced to close) this week, and it looks like it will have a hard time getting back on its feet, at least in its original form. But we have come here to talk about Windows and it's time to pick up some news that has been left in the dark during the week.

• The partnership between Microsoft and Dropbox continues to bear fruit. These days it has been the storage service that has announced its Barge service that takes the integration of its business accounts with Microsoft Office a step further.
• From Microsoft's opening towards other services and platforms we have also had our share this week with the release of MSN applications on iOS, Android and Amazon devices .
• And if there's one thing Microsoft deserves to be praised for this week, it's its commitment to the 'Hour of Code' campaign that has taken place during these seven days and to which Microsoft Spain has also joined.
• What, unfortunately, the Spanish division of Microsoft has not joined is the more than interesting discount campaign that users of the Microsoft Store in the United States enjoy since this week, including a new discount in the pack of subscriptions to the company's services.
• Look at it on the bright side, so you save money and have it available to get a new title from the classic saga Microsoft Flight Simulatorwhich will be available from December 18 on Steam.
