Yesterday was rather busy thanks to Microsoft’s X10 event in San Fran and so, to recap, Major Nelson took to the web to deliver a synopsis of the 10 biggest announcements from the event. We’re recapping that recap in order to cap off a day full of headlines while including links to all of the new videos and screens for your convenience (which will be updated throughout the day so keep checking back!)…So, take a look at all of the updates below and consider yourself “in the know” (or “capped” if you prefer).
