Tip of the week: Protect your Xbox LIVE and Windows Live ID

Microsoft discusses some technological and common sense things you can do to protect your digital identity. This is important, please don't ignore it.

Software pick of the week: OneNote for Android

Microsoft's note-taking app is now available on all major platforms. Curiously, the Android version is the best yet, by far, from a "fidelity" standpoint.

Enterprise pick of the week: Dynamics NAV 7

The first of Microsoft's four ERP products is coming to an Azure cloud near you later this year

Codename pick of the week: VS11

VS 11 is not Visual Studio 11. It probably is Visual Studio 2012. Which needs to hit beta soon (one might think)

Audible pick of the week: The Dark Half by Stephen King
