Microsoft is planning games for your PC�s web browser.

According to a report from technology news website Neowin, the software company is experimenting with Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that run on Microsoft�s Azure cloud computing network.

Sources told Neowin the service could send Xbox games to browsers at 60 frames per second, which is smoother than some native games on the Xbox One, and with full dashboard support � just like consoles. Microsoft Research published a report in August on a project named Outatime, which looks to allow gameplay over Azure, The Guardian found.

Since the cloud does the heavy lifting, the resulting stream would work just about anywhere: on Internet Explorer or Chrome, or even on smaller devices like smartphones.

This news comes about a year after Microsoft showed off a version of Halo 4 running from the cloud. The Verge then reported that Microsoft had kept latency at playable levels, even on Windows Phone devices.

watercolor best ms theme

they made the imactive windiw titles red later on (or maybe it was earlier?) which made them much more distinguishable

also the buttons were different later on too. this is an early build

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

nobody should be surprised that microsoft have no loving idea how people want to use computers. "someone will buy this tablet to pinch-to-zoom in photoshop".

does photoshop even do pinch zoom or do the gestures get converted to a ctrl-plus or whatever?

finally, after 3 versions of surface, microsoft finally managed to convince adobe to give some piecemeal touch support but it probably wont be included until the next big CC update. and its probably going to be real bad
