Microsoft continues to get it right with Windows 11, and I am excited to see it carry this momentum into the era of integrated AI. It is giving more people less of a reason to use macOS and ChromeOS, and its support of the iPhone in Phone Link puts a wrench in Apple’s connected ecosystem by eliminating a reason to use another Apple product to have a complete ecosystem. I also believe that Microsoft is pulling ahead of the competition with its AI integrations and productivity features. I believe AI enhancements and Bing Chat could boost productivity in Microsoft 365 and Windows 11 in unimaginable ways. I am excited to see Microsoft continue to integrate Bing Chat and other AI enhancements to Windows and Microsoft 365. It has brought Bing Chat to the Start menu, putting its revolutionary generative AI search engine within convenient reach. Microsoft has continued to enhance the Windows 11 experience, making it a productivity powerhouse. Although this is not a deal breaker, audio does matter. ![]() While I like that the tool automatically saves files to a default folder, I have noticed that the screen recorder does not capture audio from the device, limiting it somewhat. Microsoft has started to rectify this by giving Snip It the ability to capture video through a built-in screen recorder, so it may be time for me to take another look. This is something I used regularly in the past, but I shifted to ShareX because of the lack of investment and improvement in Snip It. While Microsoft does enable some customization to what news you can see, I believe it could be even better to include an RSS reader so that I could include more of what I want to see.Īnother update that Microsoft made that I am really glad to see is the Snip It tool. Meanwhile, partners like Meta and Spotify are already poised to make the widget bar more useful. I’d also like to see Microsoft tighten up it standards for delivering the kind of news based on my self-selections. While I would like to see more widget diversity, I do understand Microsoft’s desire to open it up slowly for developers. It is handy to see the weather in the bottom left corner and receive a reel of news at a glance. I like the direction that Microsoft is taking the widget bar. Microsoft also updated the widget bar to include Phone Link, Xbox Game Pass and apps from partners such as Meta and Spotify. These Studio Effects can mean the difference between a good or poor interaction. I think this is a big deal as it was a bit… no…. Microsoft says you can now instantly adjust background blur, eye contact and automatic framing for communication applications. Microsoft is also bringing Studio Effects to the taskbar so that it’s easier to adjust these AI-enhanced visual features. This is definitely a convenient feature to have on the go and when preparing to start a call. For one thing, Microsoft added a preview of the camera to the Teams Chat function on the taskbar so that users are better prepared to jump into a call. Microsoft has also announced updates to some of its core apps that bring these apps more in line with the overall user experience of Windows 11. While Apple’s APIs currently limit the scope of compatibility-something I wish Apple would open up-I still look forward to using the enhanced functionality just added. As someone who tests and uses many different mobile products in a year, it is very convenient to connect all of my mobile devices to the computer I am using. Windows Phone Link also enables users to connect multiple phones to a single PC and vice versa. It will also be able to make and receive phone calls through the PC.Īs someone who carries two phones-an iPhone almost exclusively for family group iMessages and an Android-I believe this implementation of iPhone connectivity will be a big convenience for many users. This extends to iMessage, which will be able to send and receive texts through a Bluetooth connection between the iPhone and the PC. ![]() Microsoft also announced that it is bringing Phone Link to iOS, which will include basic support for calls, messages and contacts. ![]()
