According to ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley, both Apple and Microsoft are still planning to get the program in the store, but no one has given a reason for the holdup. Having iTunes in the Microsoft Store would be a big deal for users on Windows 10 S, which allows apps only from the Microsoft Store, and claims to offer longer battery life and tighter security....

Design The Flex 5 convinced me that little design tweaks make all the difference. The Onyx Black lid sports an aluminum finish that catches the light, which bounces off the machine’s shiny, razor-thin, bevelled edges.
