I've issued a major update to Windows 8.1 Field Guide that addresses the recent Bing to MSN branding change, which required a lot of new screenshots and content changes. I've also been updating the free Xbox Music Field Guide over the past few weeks and hope to get that complete soon so I can finish up with Surface Pro 3 Field Guide and Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide.

These things always take longer than I'd like or expect. And it's been otherwise crazy-busy, which takes time away from writing. All I can do is keep trying...

Windows 8.1 Field Guide

The 1.06 update to Windows 8.1 Field Guide accommodates Microsoft's recent rebranding of its Bing contents apps to MSN. So the Bing Apps chapter has been renamed to MSN Apps + Maps and has been thoroughly updated with new content and screenshots.

Coming soon: Windows 10 Field Guide

The manuscript for Windows 8.1. Field Guide will of course be used as the basis for Windows 10 Field Guide, so I will be going over the rest of the book as I did for the Bing Apps chapter to make sure everything is up to date before making the switch. But that will be a few months from now, since I need to finish up Xbox Music Field Guide, Surface Pro 3 Field Guide and Windows Phone 8.1 Field Guide first.
