Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Microsoft’s biggest Build in years”.
In recent years, Microsoft has traveled San Francisco in hopes of trying to get developers to build. Apps for Windows has a really worked out every year, but this year they’ve got a new trick up their sleeves to Windows. 10. This conference is all about celebrating the creativity, the ingenuity that you all bring, so the biggest announcement of the week has definitely been Microsoft, bringing Android and iOS apps to Windows. It’S not quite as simple as it sounds, and they basically trying to get developers to port their apps to windows and run them there. You will be able to compile the same objective-c code, that’s being used in iOS applications within visual studio on Windows.
It’S kind of a disruptive thing and you books, you got the two powers and the mobile web, which is Android and iOS, and Microsoft really wants to grab those developers and get them onto windows. Whoever it’s going to work we’re seeing it could end up with a mishmash of apps on on Windows, Phone and no real identity, and no real like design ethos, or anything like that. But Microsoft really hoping this is their last chance to really get these apps on windows and to get people buying windows. Phones, aside from the mobile stuff, when it’s 10 obviously spans across PCs tablets, phones and Xbox one and this week we kind of got the first official name for the project Spartan browser which is a successor to internets bra.
So now it’s called Microsoft edge. I might just keeping the kind of circular II logo that they had with ie for, like the familiarity of like your grandma, using an explorer’s when I left kind of weird logo, i don’t, if they’re going to keep it around like they picked it. So it’s probably here to stay in terms of Microsoft edge.
It’S news clean! It’S simple! You can have extensions coming by the end of the year, so much just really cleaned its act up with the browser and it’s bringing some is that that’s new and fresh and bit more simple than in the Explorer has been in the past, because Windows 10 runs Across pcs phones tablets, wherever you want, there’s some interesting new things that might just kind of doing with it. So one of them is continuing for phones, which is essentially an interface that will allow you to plug your phone into a monitor and keyboard, and mouse and it’ll be an interface that stretches from the phone to the pc. So, instead of getting your phone interface on a monitor, you get like a PC in two ways: you can launch Excel Word and that sort of stuff and use it as a pc.
So it’s kind of cool and what wasn’t cool this week is that Michael, didn’t? Really give us a release date for other stuff, so the phone stuff is coming later this year. The pc stuff is coming this summer and summers pretty broad. We’Ve heard, like AMD CEO, say end of July, we’ve personally heard July 29 Thursday, we’ll see if Microsoft makes that, but I think Windows 10 is going to come in pretty hot.
It’S going to have a lot of updates to it and not all the features going to be there straight away, and then the final piece of the windows 10 puzzle is hollow. Lens somites will shade it back in January, and it’s progressed somewhat in a hundred days. Since then, so it’s now, headset I’ve tried it on i’d, say i’ve spent about fifty percent of the demo trying to adjust it for my eyes and get the field of view right, and i think that’s kind of the one thing that i noticed from the demos.
This time around back in january, i could look around and everything felt a little bit more immersive. But this time it felt like i had to have the hologram in a certain position, and i had to move to that and it didn’t feel like. It was part of the world necessarily so i think that’s going to be the struggle with colin ends and some of the demos were cool.
I can inflate fishes ever put stuff on the walls, all that sort stuff it’s cool, but i think there’s still some work to go and we don’t know what’s inside it, we don’t know how much it’s going to cost or when it’s are you going to arrive. So, there’s still some questions around Halloween’s, it’s cool, it’s exciting, but they’re still, there’s still some work to be done. There.
Microsoft really knows. Where needs to do – and it’s kind of tried to put that on, show this week, whether it really entices mobile developers, this time who knows this is kind of like their last chance really and if they go another year or two without the apps across their platforms And Windows becomes even more relevant than it is now they’ve done a lot of the exciting stuff. This week, they’ve shown a lot of exciting stuff they’re. Looking towards the future, I think Microsoft knows what it needs to do is just really whether developers are interested or not. .
