30 games shown, 27 coming to game pass day 1.  Number of exclusives and timed exclusives were shown.

 

I think the show was a solid 8/10.  It was just one game after the other game.  And I feel like they're still holding back on news.

MS put on a solid show. The best part for me was definitely the imminent release of Flight Simulator. 

 

Looking forward to trying out FH5 and some of the indie titles like A Plague Tale and Requiem. 

 

What did people think of the new Halo footage?

The Halo footage has got me interested in the multiplayer.

 

I think that portion of the game been free to play will do a lot to keep the multiplayer relevant over the years, in addition I believe free to play titles now don’t require a subscription to play online, which will be great to randomly have games with friends who no longer subscribe to Xbox Live.

 

Age of Empires IV looks great also, sadly buying a GPU at a reasonable price is proving next to impossible, so I don’t think I’ll be playing that anytime soon unless it comes to xCloud.


I’ll be interested to try Flight Simulator on xCloud to see how that performs, possibly one of the first xCloud games to run on the newer Series X hardware? Going back to the GPU problem above I’ve not been able to play this yet either.

I don't think you can make fun of the new Halo footage.  The MP looked great so why wouldn't the SP side look just as good or even better?   It's been the case till now that devs cut down a little on the MP side to make sure you get steady frame rate and no connection issues, so I think the MP looked solid visually which tells me the campaign is going to look great.

 

The show also had some nice little gems that will be hitting game pass that I'm looking forward to playing.  Like the Ascent for sure.  Replaced looked great.    They had a little bit of everything in there for everyone IMO.

 

Rest of 2021 looks solid to me.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
