I created my first websites in the late 90s. Back then, getting them up and running was very simple. There was an Apache server on some shared hosting, and you could access that server via FTP by entering something like ftp://ftp.example.com in the browser's address bar. Then you had to enter a username and password and upload files to the server. Those were different times; everything back then […]

The Windows 10X operating system, when released, will support both modern universal and web applications, as well as traditional Win32 applications. Microsoft claims they will run in a container, which will protect the system from viruses and crashes. It is noted that almost all traditional programs, including system utilities, Photoshop, and even […] will work inside the Win32 container.

This is indicated by a hybrid interface that combines a nearly traditional 'Start' menu (albeit without tiles), a layout typical of Android, and other aspects. One of the innovations of the upcoming 'ten' in […]
