Microsoft Windows’ future is all about users
Summary
Part of a long-term project to separate the Windows user experience from the underlying operating system – with one version already powering HoloLens 2 and another slated for a future Surface Hub update – it is now intended for lower-cost PCs that should rival Google’s Chromebooks. Recent announcements from Microsoft’s App Assure programme show an increasing commitment to Arm processors as an alternative to Windows for lightweight, connected, portable devices with long battery life. What perhaps wasn’t expected was that the combination of Office and SharePoint would give birth to Microsoft Graph, a set of APIs and services that allows users to do much more with content and data than simply leaving it on a file share. While the Graph APIs add a powerful automation and extension framework, the introduction of machine learning in Project Cortex and its first product, SharePoint Syntex, turns content into a search-based knowledge management tool. One key element, Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), helps analyse system and network behaviour, using machine learning to spot abnormal activities.
