Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows You can set up your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 on any Windows 10 device, and you can set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows on any Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7 tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. There are two steps to setting up the adapter— connecting the adapter to your device and binding your controller. Connect the adapter to your device Make sure that your Windows device is up to date and connected to the Internet. Plug the adapter into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your Windows device, and installation will happen automatically. Drivers for the adapter are built into the Windows operating system. Note For more information, see Xbox Wireless Controller functionality across operating systems. If you're using the adapter on a desktop or other device in which the USB port doesn't face the controller or is blocked by metallic objects, you should use the included USB extender so you'll avoid wireless interference and have a good line of sight to your controller. Bind your controller If you've used an Xbox One Wireless Controller before, you'll be familiar with the binding process to pair a controller with a console, or in this case, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. Follow these steps to bind your controller to the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows: 1. Connect the Xbox Wireless Adapter to your Windows 10 device (so it has power), and then push the button on the Xbox Wireless Adapter. 2. Make sure the controller is powered on, and then press the controller bind button. The controller LED will blink while it's connecting. Once it connects, the LED on the adapter and controller both go solid. Some PCs, such as Microsoft Surface Studio, have Xbox Wireless built in. This enables you to connect your controller wirelessly by using Add a device in Settings. You can also use this method to connect using your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows instead of pushing the button on the adapter. 1. On your PC, go to Settings > Devices. 2. Choose Add Bluetooth or other device. 3. Select Everything else. 4. Select Xbox Wireless Controller. 5. Click Done. .

  • Tablets in the Enterprise: Comparing the Total Cost of Ownership
    TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE: COMPARING THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Windows 8 tablets provide a PC experience, which for many workers is essential to maintaining productivity. With Windows 8, users can run familiar desktop applications, maintaining productivity without having to find new ways to carry out their tasks. They can read, edit, and print their emails and Office documents—tasks that can be a challenge on other tablets. In addition to these productivity advantages, Intel Core i5 processor and Windows 8 tablets can provide enterprises with total cost of ownership (TCO) savings of up to 18 percent compared to other tablets. We expect additional TCO savings with Intel Core vPro™ processor-based tablets due to their additional manageability capabilities. We estimate tablets with Intel Architecture and Windows 8 will have lower TCO than other tablets, primarily due to the following: reduced software costs lower management costs improved end-user productivity JANUARY 2013 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES WHITE PAPER Commissioned by Intel Corp. TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP OF TABLETS IN THE ENTERPRISE In this paper, we first present a TCO analysis for a hypothetical enterprise considering four major categories of tablets for their employees: Microsoft Windows 8 tablets, Windows RT tablets, Android tablets, and Apple iPads. Because the ranges of prices and capabilities differ among models within each category, we selected a single representative model for each. Following this analysis, we discuss the dominant issues in enterprise tablet computing as of this writing. We base our TCO analysis on the primary assumptions in Figure 1. Tablets must be nine inches or larger with 64 GB of storage and Wi-Fi support.

  • Xbox Security
    Xbox Security The Xbox is a sixth generation video game console produced by Microsoft Corporation. It was Microsoft's first foray into the gaming console market, and competed directly with Sony's PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo GameCube. It was released on November 15, 2001 in North America, February 22, 2002 in Japan, and March 14, 2002 in Europe and Australia. It is the predecessor to Microsoft's Xbox 360 console. The remarkable success of the upstart Sony PlayStation worried Microsoft in late 1990s. The growing video game market seemed to threaten the PC market which Microsoft had dominated and relied upon for most of its revenues. Additionally, a venture into the gaming console market would diversify Microsoft's product line, which up to that time had been heavily concentrated on software. The Xbox was Microsoft's first product that ventured into the video game console market, after having collaborated with Sega in porting Windows CE to the Dreamcast console. Notable launch titles for the console included Halo: Combat Evolved, Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding, Dead or Alive 3, Project Gotham Racing, and Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. Development The Xbox was initially developed within Microsoft by a small team that included game developer Seamus Blackley (an agent with Creative Artists Agency representing video game creators). Microsoft repeatedly delayed the console, which was revealed at the end of 1999 following interviews of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. Gates stated that a gaming/multimedia device was essential for multimedia convergence in the new times of digital entertainment. On March 10, 2000 the "X-box Project" was officially confirmed by Microsoft with a press release.

    European Journal of Business, Economics and Accountancy Vol. 8, No. 1, 2020 ISSN 2056-6018 VALUATION OF TARGET FIRMS IN MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: A CASE STUDY ON MERGER OF SKYPE AND MICROSOFT Nguyen Vuong Bang Tam Thu Dau Mot University VIETNAM [email protected] ABSTRACT Mergers and acquisitions have become the most popular used methods of growth for the company and it’s one of the best ways to make a shortcut to get the success. They create the larger potential market share and open it up to a more diversified market, increase competitive advantage against competitors.

Is that a good deal for Microsoft? Many analysts have different point of view but most of them have negative perspective. Research was to provide the analysis of Skype’s intrinsic value with an optimistic view of point about Skype’s future, Microsoft overpaid for Skype.
