Surface Go is available globally for $399 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. This is the variant Microsoft really wants consumers to get excited about.

Apple already offers a similar system, known as Boot Camp, even though the company insists Mac OS is all you will ever need. It’s noteworthy that Microsoft offers no side-door to Mac or Chrome OS. The report suggests Google is working on a so-called “alt OS mode”. This will be reserved specifically for the company’s own Pixelbook laptop. Mountain View has been developing this feature for much of this year in an effort to bring Windows 10 to Chromebooks....

On the one side, Congress is pushing tech companies to divulge information on perpetrators of the Capitol riots. On the other side, Republicans continue to disrupt proceedings. Investigators are trying to find out about communications between then president, Donald Trump and Republican members of Congress during the attack.

An ARM variant of Firefox was announced alongside Chromium and is in public testing. There are obviously many things that can lead to differing release times, but Woods believes it’s due to a disagreement between the partners involved. “There seems to be some kind of disagreement between Google and one of the other companies involved (either Qualcomm or Microsoft),” he said. “Last I heard, it will likely be resolved some time in the February timeframe....

Microsoft says this addition came about as a result of user feedback. It’s particularly useful if you want to check if someone is on Skype before you use credit. Unfortunately, the update doesn’t bring any other features, but it does come with the usual stability and performance updates. In general, you can expect a smoother experience with fewer crashes, which is always nice. Winning Users Back Microsoft seems to be focusing strongly on calling this year, with screenshots and sharing coming in January, improved audio control in February, and call intent support in April....

Of course, people who needed call recording facilities on Skype have not been left wanting. Numerous third-party developers brought recording to the platform. However, Microsoft wants to make the whole process more efficient. There are a couple of things to consider. Firstly, the introduction of call recording is limited to Windows 10 and Mac, at least for now. Secondly, Microsoft seems to be pushing this feature to streamers and vloggers, but we think it would also be useful for business users and organizations....

Following its acquisition of rival HipChat last month, Slack has this week announced a new funding round. The company drew a massive $427 million from a funding round led by Dragoneer investment Group and General Atlantic.

When discussing the successful round, Slack took the time to discuss its overall platform growth....

Of the $108 billion, $38 billion is coming from SoftBank itself, while the rest will come from the capital contributions of participating companies. As well as Microsoft and Apple, there’s Foxconn, Mizuho Bank, MUFG Bank, Daiwa, the National Bank of Kazakhstan, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, and more. However, perhaps more notable is who isn’t present in the list. SoftBank’s previous Vision Fund caused some concern due to its investment from key figures in the Saudi Arabian government....

In a podcast (The Sams Report) today, Microsoft watcher Brad Sams said he has heard about the Surface Phone from two separate sources. The device will not be a smartphone per se, but instead a “mobile type” device Like other Surface products, it will not be expected to drive massive sales. Instead, it is supposed to spur developer interest by providing a hero device that they can use as a reference for the capabilities of hardware on Windows 10 Mobile....

The United States signed up to the Paris climate agreement when President Obama was in the White House....
