• March 2013 - DCEmu Turns 9 Years Old and Still Going Strong

    Its Now March 2013 and DCEmu the Homebrew & Gaming Network is now 9 Years old. I actually started the sites back in 2002 but joined them under the DCEmu name back in 2004 when the site was foremost a Dreamcast Site, since then we have expanded and cover all homebrew scenes as new consoles come into play. To make sure the site gets back to what it does best i have merged the discussion forums and unmerged all the news forums, which for everyone makes for a better reading experiance, no one wants to search for PS2 news on a PS3 merged news forum because it takes ages to find it. Also this month we have launched new sites for PS4, GCW Zero and also an Open Source Handhelds website. Thanks for visiting DCEmu and please join in the discussion and remember if you are a coder then you can upload to our forum instead of using crappy internet upload sites.

    Microsoft announced that the Windows Live brand will be retired in a shake up of the software giant's approach to cloud services ahead of the release of Windows 8.
    Microsoft's Windows Live group VP Chris Jones, in addition to needing a new job title, pointed out in a post on the Building Windows 8 blog, that Windows Live was a confusing brand that converted software, web-based services and an ID account.
    "Windows 8 provides us with an opportunity to reimagine our approach to services and software and to design them to be a seamless part of the Windows experience, accessible in Windows desktop apps, Windows Metro style apps, standard web browsers, and on mobile devices," said Jones.
    What that appears to mean is just that the Live brand is going away and will be replaced with a number of super generic and boring names such as Account, Storage/Docs, Email, Calendar, Contacts and Messaging. Microsoft 'reimagining' at its best.

    It seems that the announcement is essentially a reiteration of the built-in cloud features of Windows 8, as opposed to earlier Windows needing a bolt-on service.
