Cometh the big games, cometh the NVIDIA driver update. Forza 6: Apex makes it out onto PC in beta form today, and with Paragon and Overwatch betas also in progress - not forgetting Battleborn's recent relase - there are a lot of games that would quite like your graphics card to treat them nicely this week. That's what the 365.10 update is all about.
Good new driving games on PC are like monsoons in the desert - here are the best racing games currently available.
Forza's beta release marks the debut of Microsoft's racing series on PC, after 125 years of Xbox exclusivity. It's a pared-down version of the XBone release, and free-to-play to boot, so it's still not what you'd call 'authentic Forza.' However, we're not exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to getting behind the wheel on PC, so it'll do. There are plans to expand the beta throughout the summer, but in the here and now NVIDIA's drivers should keep frame rates as smooth as your hardware will allow.
In an interesting turn of events, all but one of the other titles targeted by this driver release are betas too. Battleborn is the sole full release to get an optimization, meanwhile Paragon and Overwatch are both in beta and prettying themselves ready for final release. When, presumably, they'll get another optimized driver. Hakuna Matata.
You can read more about the release at NVIDIA's site, or just go ahead and download the thing. It's only a driver, after all.

There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command. That's come from Outlook.com and “provides a simple set of act...

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

By
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's  online page  for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3  indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was  running on 14 million devices  since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
