The Digital Lifestyle Show #399 – Blame it on Windows

We are nearly at the big 400 but not quite yet, this is podcast number 399 and I am joined by Jason to talk over the week’s news. We talk about Windows 8 and is it really responsible for the decline in PC sales? Is the start button coming back? Would an Xbox Surface make sense or would an 8 inch Windows RT device be better? Plus we talk about Netflix moving to HTML5 away from Silverlight, Skype for Windows 8, updated Bing apps for Windows 8 /Windows RT, DVBLink updates and controlling XBMC from Windows 8 and Windows RT.

Our 400th show will be April 30th with Ed Bott and Charlie Owen joining our regular team. We will be streaming the recording live on our live page at 8pm BST.
