My Office

The new Office for Windows 10 app reminds us that Office online can be used for free

Microsoft announced a few hours ago the availability of the Office application for Windows 10. This tool is the evolution of the old “My Office”, and allows to centralize the workflow with office documents, but also reminds us something important.

It does so because from this application we can create and edit Office documents for free as it will link them to the free Office.com service, the free alternative to Office 365. And if we have the suite installed, we can work directly with those applications that this client will detect automatically.

Office 2019 Thanks, Microsoft, for not abandoning those who do not want software subscriptions

Office 2019: Thanks, Microsoft, for not abandoning those who do not want software subscriptions

What a surprise it gave to some Microsoft yesterday. Those responsible for the development of Office announced that Office 2019 – “the next perpetual update of Office” – would arrive in the second half of 2018.

That would not normally call too much attention, but the truth is that for some – and I include myself – the software subscription model that seemed to be imposed with Office 365 does not quite materialize. Paying to one time has its advantages, so Microsoft, I can only say one thing: thank you.

Windows Vista

No! Windows Vista is not the worst operating system in Microsoft’s history and these are the reasons

Microsoft has done everything in these last two decades in terms of operating systems. It has entertained us, of course, with versions that have had as many successes as mistakes but with the constant aim of trying to bring information to all types of users.

In the family of Windows operating systems there are evidently versions that have passed with more fortune for our computers than others. Microsoft said goodbye yesterday to Windows Vista, and now many are again wondering if Windows Vista was the worst operating system in Microsoft’s history.

Microsoft

Microsoft is no longer and will not be the Windows company, it is the company of artificial intelligence and the cloud

Or that’s what Satya Nadella wants, which knocked Terry Myerson out of the way and almost to the Windows division a few days ago. He did humiliating the latter to occupy a discreet background to make way for the Microsoft of the future.

For Microsoft Windows it does not seem too important anymore. What matters is artificial intelligence and the cloud , the two fundamental legs of a strategy that wants to look to the future almost forgetting a platform that put Microsoft where it is now.

Microsoft Mixed Reality

What apps and games does Microsoft want to convince us that their mixed reality is better than virtual reality?

The great update of Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 is already among us, and among its many novelties we find its first steps in mixed reality. Microsoft has boasted much of its mix of virtual and mixed reality, and has even partnered with several manufacturers to launch a whole range of devices to consume it.

However, there have already been some critical voices that have accused this technology of not supposing a change that is too significant with respect to similar ones such as virtual reality. Therefore, we will review the applications and games with which Microsoft is trying to give strength to its mixed reality to see to what extent it manages to differentiate itself.

Xbox One X

Xbox One X: The future of Microsoft is spectacular, but not for everyone!

Confronting Xbox One X means waking up to conflicting feelings. The one cataloged as “the most powerful console ever created” lives up to its name, but its ability to impress live does not dispel the doubts we already had at home. I’m going to play games that are going to look that good, but what games?

Xbox One X is the third iteration of Xbox One after the release of Xbox One S. It is a review of the possibilities of the console, now also intended to offer native 4K resolutions. Stand in front of ‘Forza Motorsport 7’ you fall in love with the console instantly, but if it is a capricious fling or a lifetime marriage is something to be seen.

Office 2019

Office 2019: Thanks Microsoft for not abandoning those who do not want software subscriptions

What a surprise it gave to some Microsoft yesterday. Those responsible for the development of Office announced that Office 2019 – “the next perpetual update of Office” – would arrive in the second half of 2018.

That would not normally call too much attention, but the truth is that for some – and I include myself – the software subscription model that seemed to be imposed with Office 365 does not quite materialize. Paying to tocateja has its advantages, so Microsoft, I can only say one thing: thank you.

Microsoft's Mixed Reality

Microsoft’s “Mixed Reality” looks suspiciously like “Virtual Reality”

The virtual reality was one of the great promises of recent years, but even the appearance of Oculus Rift and Live HTC has managed to boost the market as much as analysts had expected, industry and users.

Soon there will be a new participant in that effort, because Microsoft has announced that it will soon offer the first mixed-reality devices at competitive prices. As far as we know, however, the mixed reality of Microsoft is much like the virtual reality of Oculus and HTC, and has little to do with the HoloLens.
