Windows 10
 
 

The latest Operating System (OS) from the Microsoft stable is Windows 10. This OS is what Windows 8 should have been.

Windows 10 is much more usable than Windows 8 or 8.1 and proudly offers a bundle of new features, including improved security, a new Internet browser, and the voice-activated intelligent assistant Cortana.

One of the nicest improvements is simply the Start menu. It brings back the traditional menu (pre Windows 8) and consolidates it with the live Tiles that we saw with Windows 8. Windows 7 and 8 users should be happy with this offering.

The biggest development in the Windows 10 story is that it may be completely free to upgrade. Microsoft made this announcement at its January event in Redmond (USA). The firm has said it will be available at no charge for the first year (although it may end up extending that) for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 users. It will also be free if you're still running Windows 7.
 
 
 

Adobe - Illustrator (Part 1)
   
 

This month we take a look at three tips and tricks that you can use with Adobe Illustrator.

Tip 1 - Paste in Place

We all know about CMD+C and CMD+V for Copying and Pasting, but did you know about the Paste in Place (CMD+Shift+V) Paste in Front (CMD+F) and Paste in Back (CMD+B) shortcuts? Rather than have to realign your new element after it’s dumped in the middle of the screen you can quickly paste it directly into your chosen position

Tip 2 - Shape Builder Tool

Select an object, then Option-Shift (Mac) or Alt-Shift (PC) and drag the object to make a copy. Release the keys, but before you release the mouse, press either the right arrow or the up arrow to make additional copies between the existing objects. Then release the mouse.

Tip 3 - Live Paint Bucket

Quickly fill shapes much like the Paint Bucket tool in other applications.
