Windows in Short: Flappy Bird

This week has been quite hectic for many aspects: glut of success, new faces, and falls of others. First things first, we already have a new CEO at Microsoft: Satya Nadella, a person who has already been with the company for years and who has managed to make an important leap in his working life.

The operating systems have also appeared during the week, as, for example, more information has been given about the new interface that I would have Windows 8.1. On the console side, it was confirmed that on February 11 the Xbox One will receive a software update.And on Windows Phone, its notification center and new volume bar were leaked. On the other hand, Sony sold its long-running Vaio computer division in order to, in theory, focus more on the smartphone and tablet market, something that opens the possibility of it entering the field with Windows Phone. And speaking of companies, this week we had an interview with Antonio Quirós, vice president of the Spanish company Bq.

In Xataka they have published the analysis of a product that we should all be interested in: Nokia Lumia 1520. Finally, don't forget to participate in the question of the week: What do you think of the new CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella?.

As for the items we don't cover, we have:

• Microsoft is getting aggressive, this time attacking Chromebooks with one on YouTube.
• But that's not the only thing, because it is also offering users the possibility to exchange their iPhone 4, 4S and Samsung Galaxy S2 for credit to purchase a Nokia Lumia.
• Comscore released sales data for the last quarter of 2013, showing that Windows Phone had a –very– slight drop in sales compared to its previous quarter.
• Don't forget to check out this week's Red Stripe deals: Pac-Man CE DX, Pool Plus Friends, Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek, myBattery, Second Chance, and Gym Builder Pro.
• WPCentral made a curious article where he names 8 characteristics of Satya Nadella that, perhaps, we did not know.
• The new Samsung Windows Phone has passed through FCC, confirming some of its characteristics.
• And finally, the developer of Flappy Bird seems to have gorged itself with success, because they have removed the game from the iOS and Android stores, which means that plans for it to come to Windows Phone will be forgotten.

This is the summary of a busy week, we'll see what the next one brings us.
