TechByter Worldwide 2015.07.12: Astonishment for Sale, The Countdown to Windows 10, Short Circuits, and Spare Parts.

Website designers, both pro and amateur, will find lots to like in the latest version of Xara Web Designer; with just weeks to go before Windows 10 is released, Microsoft has pushed out the last preview build and it about ready to release the code to manufacturing.
