With its new features, Microsoft will finally decide which is the number one office software suite.
We’re past the Microsoft conference, Ignite 2021, at which the company presented a myriad of exciting innovations to users. In Redmond, engineers do not get bored for a minute, Windows 11 was recently launched, where There is still room for improvementMeanwhile, rumors spread on the Internet that The company will equip its devices with processors similar to the Apple M1.
No official information has been released about the former yet, but we at Ignite have learned what software innovations Microsoft brings to its users.
Computers running from the cloud
It’s nothing entirely new since then Windows 365 has been available since AugustWhat is new, however, is that we will soon be able to stream Windows 11 clients with a TPM through the service. Meanwhile, Microsoft is improving the Office and Teams experience for these cloud-based devices so that anyone working on such an interface experiences the fewest streaming flaws.
“All our innovations are built on Windows and that’s how it works – It is the only operating system also suitable for hybrid work. “The release of Windows 11 resulted in a simple, intrusive installation that tailors devices to the individual needs of an individual or workgroup,” said Jared Spataro, Vice President of Microsoft 365.
The service interface will change as well, as users will soon have the option to edit their locally available devices and change the keyboard and other input settings while they are running.
Microsoft engineers have also made Test Base more widely available, allowing third-party developers to test their software for compatibility on multiple Windows clients, and allowing an update to run tests in a Windows Server 2022 environment.
Microsoft 365 – Loop
A new application based on the previous Microsoft software called Fluid Framework was also revealed during the presentation. Loop aims to facilitate hybrid work for businesses and bring different workflows to groups using the app under one roof.
The loop currently consists of three main components: loop components, loop pages, and loop workspaces. The former contains content that is constantly updated and live the team works with, and any of these participants can join at any time. Repeat pages help you edit, whether it’s a shared list in Teams or a text document. Finally, there are the workspaces, which gather team materials in one place for easy access and visibility for everyone.
The special feature of loop items is that you can easily drag and drop them into the program, but you can even put them in a Teams chat without a second thought.
Microsoft plans to continually expand Loop in the future to be able to perform more and more tasks and thus reach more people. It seems that Microsoft did not count on it Google nominates its throne…
Microsoft Teams
Last but not least, we come to Microsoft Teams, which certainly sounds familiar to everyone, as it was one of the most defining programs of the quarantine period and has been with us ever since. Redmond engineers liked it so much that the software is built into Windows 11, for which Microsoft has now identified almost futuristic features.
The news feed starts with Teams Connect. Starting in the beginning of 2022, Microsoft will provide an opportunity for users to schedule meetings available outside their organization, where participants will be able to use the company’s applications together. These conferences will be able to bring together up to 50 teams and be joined by an unlimited organization.
Not for the difference
Facebook dropped the atom on October 28: I want to create their own virtual reality where we can work, have fun, be together and do more and more activities, all on social networking servers of course. Now, let’s not dwell on the doubts this raisesLet’s focus on how Microsoft wants to respond.
Teams developers responded to the metaverse with Mesh, which is very similar to Facebook’s ideas. Here too, the point is to use AR and VR, which can be used for conferences, lectures, webinars and Actually anything that doesn’t require a direct physical connection.
Unlike the Facebook metaverse, Mesh will be available even from a smartphone, and Teams will edit the emerging virtual world as if everyone were in a shared space. – For example, it will be in a cafe. This is already possible, but in the beta version starting at the end of 2021, we will be able to replace ourselves with a virtual avatar and appear in a 3D space.
According to the developers, the future of the platform depends on user-generated elements and ideas. For example, organizations will be able to create their own spaces and employees will be able to improve their environment to their liking.
To achieve the most realistic effect, Microsoft wants to achieve a lot with MI technology. These things, among other things, will help make the lips, hands and other movements of our virtual avatar a perfect replica of us, thus facilitating non-verbal communication on the network.
Do you really think that virtual life is the future? Are Microsoft and Meta headed in the right direction with these kinds of ambitions?
