Microsoft revealed Apple's iTunes and the Apple Music streaming service will be arriving on the Windows Store later this year. iTunes, is already available on the Windows platform, but the arrival of a Windows Store app is a big deal.
Microsoft previewed the some of the new features, including the new Story Remix app, yesterday at a conference held in Seattle for applications developers.
Microsoft (MSFT) knows that you love your iPhone.
Microsoft also announced a universal clipboard, which will let you copy text from one device and paste it on another - similar to a feature that Apple has for pasting text between its own devices, but that will also work across platforms. That's an Android on the right!
The autumn update will bring Microsoft Graph.
Not only that but it was an Android device too - so this will work across platforms. Would this new feature update end up being useful to you?
T-based Story Remix, users can easily bring their photos and videos together to create stories with a soundtrack, theme, 3D objects and cinematic transitions.
"Thank you", he said, before continuing the demo.
Acting FBI chief Andrew McCabe contradicts White House on James Comey firing
Trump told Holt he asked Comey. "He would say, 'Look sir, I really can't get into it, and you don't want me to'". McCabe testified it was not typical practice to tell a person they are not a target of an investigation.
Powered by technology the company is calling Microsoft Graph, the new features will allow the history of everything you do to live in the cloud, and be accessible to you even as you switch devices.
After a developer starts work on an iOS or Android app, and "you're past day one, so you've imported some frameworks and libraries, and your app has grown in complexity, your compile and deploy times actually grow pretty quickly", he said.
In another example of hell freezing over, Microsoft announced that Ubuntu is coming to the Windows Store for developers and that SUSE and Fedora are coming to the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Cutting those compile and deploy times could create a massive boost for developer productivity, and the app allows Windows-based developers to test iOS apps in ways that would have required a Mac in the past. It's exciting to see more than 300 million people using Windows 10 every day for more than 3.5 hours a day on average.
It is in fact more of a soft change rather than an overhaul, with the tech giant introducing a new design checklist they want developers to think about and apply when designing their products.
Myerson said the new motion controllers are the first that don't require the installation of markers, hardware devices that are usually placed on walls to provide accurate motion sensing and mixed-reality responses in physical spaces. Also, developers and ISVs who host their production SaaS applications on Microsoft Azure and sign up through the Azure website can now have their apps' data and workflow automatically extended to authorised Office 365 customers through standard connectors for PowerApps and Microsoft Flow.
The added bells and whistles will roll out later this year as part of "Fall Creators Update" that will be provided for free to 500 million personal computers, smartphones and tablets powered by Windows 10.
