  Windows 11 looks good *IF* Microsoft has more consistent design once you navigate away from the first layer of the updated desktop/Start environment. Search looks less useless and that's nice. Good job, Bill Gate.

  Not surprising re Teams, but as I wrote recently Teams is the core product in their new “collaborative apps” strategy (where the web is the engine). Will have to dig into this news more... the word “integration” has heavy connotations with MS, of course. https://thenewstack.io/..…

  Microsoft just teased a new File Explorer for Windows 11. It looks a little more simplified for touch and more. Details here: https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Another thought: Had many of the features coming to macOS Monterey just been announced on their own in a dedicated section, it would have felt big too. But the vibe was “Oh it's also getting all this stuff we made for the iPhone and iPad,” so it didn't land.

  Microsoft isn't saying whether Windows 10 update 21H2 will be the last major update to Windows 10 or not. There will obviously be security updates etc, but maybe no more significant Windows 10 feature updates?

• @ryansmithat Ryan Smith on x

  While admittedly comparing Apples to Microsofts here, it's striking how different their communications strategies are. Apple had press releases and a detailed product page ready to go the moment they finished the WWDC keynote announcing macOS Monterey. MS has nothing like that

  After seeing Microsoft presentation, Windows 11 feels a little more like it earns the new version number. It's a sweeping update to the visual design & shell, revamped in-box apps, a new app store model open to everybody, and Android apps. Modern File Explorer would seal the deal…
