Microsoft News is a free application for Windows-based computers that provides up-to-the-minute news on your desktop. Microsoft News is available both as an application download for free and as a free web service that you can use on your PC. In addition to receiving breaking news and feature stories on your desktop, Microsoft News offers up-to-date feeds of breaking news from around the world. Microsoft News also features a number of useful applications, including a calculator and a game called Powerball. The only thing better than receiving the news as it happens is getting it directly to your inbox, and in this respect, Microsoft News delivers. Microsoft News provides live access to feeds round the clock and seven day a week, and the application comes pre-loaded with lots of news publishers for you to choose from. Some of the main categories to chose from include (but aren't limited to) finance, health/fitness, politics, technology, and sports. Although it's not necessary to open each category, the news apps offer a rich variety of options, so it's recommended that you download one or more. Microsoft News can be used on any Windows platform, and although the functionality is great, some users may find that it doesn't have support for all the features that they want. One of the best things about Microsoft News is that you can search for articles by topic and sub topics. This makes it extremely easy to find news related to your industry or job, and once you've found your subscriptions you can simply download the app to your computer. You can either download the Microsoft News app on your phone through MS Bing or on your laptop via Wi-Fi. If you download the app on your laptop, you can also get a HTML-based desktop version for free. Although the HTML version is free, it lacks a number of the functionality and security features of the paid versions, and is mainly intended for use with Microsoft Outlook software.
