This week at Microsoft: Android, Mango, and Windows 8

It is Friday, which means that it is time for us to gather around the fire and talk about the last seven days of Microsoft. Oddly, most of the juicy stuff this week has occured in the past few days, so if you have been absent recently, prepare for a minor deluge.

Now Microsoft has shown off ten times more of Windows 8 than we had previously seen, released an early build, detailed Windows Server 8, let forth new news on Windows Phone, and generally explained much of its coming roadmap for the next year....
