Claude is doing this in the sidebar because they don't have access to the Word code. But why did Microsoft rush to do this work in the sidebar before integrating it directly? Even when we first added HTML to Word, we did so in the most native way we could.

Thank you Apple for 50 years. Like so many Apps people at Microsoft, I came to the company as mostly a Mac person. Here's my first end-to-end Mac App I made in 1986-7 on a 512K Mac for my chemistry thesis. MacMendeleev. We sold it through Kinko's (FedEx). [image]

If you tell an enthusiastic customer base “we're listening” the challenge becomes you can never listen to everyone about everything. You can't “take requests.” That isn't a product plan or execution strategy. This has happened before in recent past.

@edandersen these are two sides of the same coin. its about the experience. look at macOS today and what you have to jump through to download something and make it run, and even then what it is you can download and run as a subset of what Mac API surface area _was_.

Apple's MacBook Neo validates a vision that began 15 years ago with a demo of Windows on ARM, which is held back by Microsoft's commitment to x86 compatibility

I'm completely blown away by Mac Neo.  It made me think a lot about what we tried to accomplish with Windows 8 more than a dozen years ago.

@marcobarsotti The windows tablet / tabletPC is a perfect example of correct concept but the technology wasn't ready. Digitizers and screens didn't work in early 2000s. Battery life and cooling on x86 could not work.

What Apple consistently proves over decades is that they build products with specifications based on their strategy and what they believe consumers will value at point of sale.  The fact that much of phones/PCs simply march all specs on the calendar of supply chain components confuses people who think having every spec bump is the only way to stay current and maximize utility.  Having multiple display port ports is such an example.  Almost no one runs with more than one external monitor.  It isn't a purchase decision for anyone but the most extreme user...
