The full desktop version of Microsoft Office will soon be available in the Windows Store, with Microsoft planning to introduce it in June. We’d already heard a number of rumours to this effect, and at Microsoft’s big launch event this week – where Windows 10 S and the Surface Laptop were revealed – Terry Myerson, Executive VP of the Windows and Devices Group, announced that full-fat Office was about to arrive in the Windows Store. Note that Office apps are already available in the Windows Store, but these are cut-down and touch-focused apps as opposed to the fully fledged versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
According to a leaked file discovered in an upcoming preview update, a new feature may be arriving to to Windows 10, that will improve the performance of PC games. This “Game Mode” will reduce the amount of resources used by other applications and allocate the free space to the game to make it run faster. A Twitter user who goes by the name WalkingCat, discovered a DLL called "Game Mode" in the latest build for Windows 10.

Intel’s upcoming Skylake processors are going to be something special. One reason: they’ll be the last new Intel CPUs to support Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, in accordance with a new policy from Microsoft. Going forward, Microsoft says that they’ll only support new silicon on the latest and greatest versions of the Windows operating system. Windows lead Terry Myerson notes that doing so “enables [Microsoft] to focus on deep integration between Windows and the silicon”. It’s also about making sure that a Windows PC can take full advantage of a processor’s abilities, and vice versa. They’re phasing the change in now, starting with Intel’s Skylake chips. Not all Skyake-based systems will receive any sort of long-term attention from Microsoft. These systems will continue to receive Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 support until the middle of July 2017. After that, Microsoft says, they should be upgraded to Windows 10 to continue receiving support.
