It seems that today's Microsoft event - rather than unleashing a bunch of juicy, never-before-heard details on Windows 10 and its associated products - is merely a checklist of all the tidbits we've been hearing over the past couple of months.

The Interview has, since its announcement, been shrouded in controversy. For its flagrant mocking of North Korea, it hasn't exactly helped preexisting tensions, and after a stuttered release, remains conspicuous by its absence on Netflix. Not for long, it would seem, for at its latest earnings call, Netflix confirmed that the flick will be available to subscribers from later this month.
