Currently:

  1. A new Skype app is in development
  2. Joe acknowledges that there is an App Update issue as developers don't update on par with iOS
  3. They are working with FB on a new app targeted for the June timeframe - this update brings improvements to perf, having full-width photos in the newsfeed, and seeing photos & comments at the same time.
  4. The will continue investing resources on Google and Google Apps (they don't know Google's agenda, no communication with w/ Mountain View)
  5. Acknowledges the feature gap, says it is ALMOST closed.

A file manager is good news, now just let me download any files I have on OneDrive with the OneDrive app and that'd be great.


Cortana to launch in China and UK for version 1, other English-speaking countries soon after.

 

Remember it's in "beta" right now and not v1 yet.

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      No. The file manager is a lost cause. After all, its dev receives all the undeserved praise he could evre wish from Neowin, without having actually earned it. This has never lead to improvements.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
