This week we are going to talk about the Windows 10 Creators Update. But first, some backstory, last time we talked about the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, this update was a “small” update to this UDGE update, it made many components of Windows that had been a vital part of Windows ever since Windows XP more modern, new and fresh if you think that the Fall Creators Update was big then this one is a mountain, this is the end of the end for unmodern windows. Join me today for the Windows 10 Creators Update, on Podcast OS. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-os/message

With the release of the Windows April 2018 Update, we chat with Microsoft engineers about three exciting features that Insiders voted as part of their top 10 favorites. Tom Alphin joins Jason Howard in the studio to talk about Timeline, a new, chronological way to keep track of all your stuff, including across multiple devices. Jake Cohen chats about Eye Control, an accessibility feature that Microsoft developed with the help of Steve Gleason, an NFL football player for the New Orleans Saints who is living with ALS. And Samuele Dassatti, an 18-year-old Windows Insider from Italy, shares his experience developing his app, Fluenty, using Fluent Design. Then, Dona Sarkar and Jason have a candid discussion about what it's really like to be a Microsoft engineer and evolve an operating system used by more than a billion users worldwide. Episode Transcription JASON HOWARD: Welcome to the Windows Insider Podcast. I'm your host, Jason Howard, and this is Episode 15: Updates and Features and Engineers—Oh, My! This episode, we'll chat with Microsoft engineers about Timeline and Eye Control, as well as a Windows Insider about Fluent design. All three of these features were voted by insiders as part of the top ten features within this update. Later, Dona Sarkar and I will chat about what it's really like to evolve an operating system used by more than a billion users worldwide. JASON HOWARD: To talk about the new Timeline feature today, we have Tom Alphin. Welcome to the show. TOM ALPHIN: Thank you. JASON HOWARD: So could you please introduce yourself to the audience and tell them what you do here at Microsoft? TOM ALPHIN: Sure. So I'm Tom Alphin. I've been working at Microsoft for about 15, 16 years. Been on the Windows team for most of that, and most recently, as you introduced me, I've been working on the Timeline feature. JASON HOWARD: Awesome. TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: And for those who may not be familiar, or may not have watched some of the webcasts we do, back in December of 2017, we did a little demo -- what was it? About a week early before the Timeline feature showed up Insider builds? TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: Actually had you on the air, got to do some demos -- they worked. TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. Yeah. JASON HOWARD: Which was awesome. (Laughter.) Doing live demos is always a risky proposition. So for those that are listening to the show and may not be familiar with the functionality, since it's just now like properly releasing to the public, can you give us a bit of a rundown on what Timeline is? TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. Before talking about Timeline itself, it's worth speaking for a moment about what problem we think Timeline solves. We identified some years ago that people were struggling to find their stuff. It used to be that I knew where all my stuff was. It was on my one laptop on the hard drive. And now with a world of cloud services, OneDrive and Dropbox or whatever your favorite storage solution is, it's kind of hard to find stuff sometimes. Or it might even be on the C drive of a different laptop. And it's like, "Where's my stuff?" And so rather than just trying to make sure even puts all their stuff in one place, which of course we're investing in making OneDrive a great place for your stuff, we also recognized, you know, people are going to use a mix of things. So why don't we give them one view of all their stuff? And it's organized, actually, chronologically, not by physical storage location. And that was sort of the conceptual journey that we went through to get to the idea, "Hey, maybe we just give people a timeline of their stuff." And that's the gist of it. When we ended up, ultimately, shipping today is the ability for users to click on the task view button that's been part of Windows for a while now. Instead of just seeing what's running, you can actually go back in time. And you're seeing your chronological view of stuff you've done in the past. And from that chronological view, you can click on something because you want to get back to that document or that website, and it will just launch. And we've made it really easy. We're hoping people habituate to that as an alternate way to go back and find things they care about. JASON HOWARD: And it seems like the name was pretty easy to stumble upon, it kind of named itself. (Laughter.) TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. I mean, the name of the feature kind of just is the essence of the feature. Although, we use that name as a bit of a guiding principle. We were, like, when we started thinking about search results in the timeline experience, we could have organized the search results in any manner of ways. We could have organized them by application, we could have organized them by some sort of relevance algorithm. We chose, ultimately, to organize them chronologically because we're, like, "This is Timeline, we've got to keep things organized in a predictable, consistent way." And that bounding concept is chronology. So reverse chronology, center of Timeline. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. And, I mean, if you've got files in five different locations and you're struggling to remember where it was to begin with, right? Because if you knew where it was, you could possibly just go and open the file and be done with it. Having remembered when the last time you worked on it, for some people, myself included here, it's probably a little bit easier to do it that way as opposed to, okay, which PC was this on or which, you know, cloud-based service did I upload this to at what point in time? And all of a sudden, it's like, oh, yeah, I worked on this on this other machine, it was two days ago, cool. Zip back in time, and there you go. TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. So, basically, we're giving people one more way to find their stuff. You can already find it if you know where it is, go find it in File Explorer, the appropriate app. You can already find it in search if you know exactly what it's called. And now we've got a way you can find it if you know when it happened. JASON HOWARD: That's awesome. TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: So it sounds like that was a bit of the core of why the team was excited to create the feature. TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: So as an end user, right, it sounds like they have this third kind of pillar of a way to go and find files. But besides just finding something that they had been working on, right? Like, how does this change the game for users? Like, how does this improve their workflow and make lives easier for them? TOM ALPHIN: Well, we know that people use computers in a lot of different ways. Some people will do simple tasks, just get something done, move on. Other people use it for more entertainment or shopping or any of these other scenarios. And every one of those scenarios is going to have a different use case or use pattern. And for each one of them, they might use something like timeline differently. If you're using it for shopping, it's great to be able to go find that thing you were looking at a couple days ago because maybe you saw something you really liked, but you weren't quite ready to pull the trigger and buy it. You closed the Web browser, it's pretty hard to find it again. And now, you know, you just scroll back in Timeline, you can find it, get back to it, make a purchase decision. If you're doing a more complicated task, maybe you're working on writing a book or trying to research a trip or any of these tasks that take many days and many, many documents and objects it's going to take you a while to build out that state. And then you've got all the information at your fingertips, and then you have to switch to something else, getting back to that stuff is challenging and Timeline is one way we think people can do it more easily because it's all there. And since you're going back in time to two days ago when you were looking at the trip planning, you'll see in that two days ago area, other things that you're doing at the same time, it's very likely those are the same things you want to bring back as well. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. So instead of finding just the one thing, you may have forgotten about something else that's important and relevant that hadn't kind of clicked back into your memory. And, you know, when you go back and find this, it'll be sitting there waiting for you as well. And you're, like, "Oh, my goodness, I completely forgot about that." TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. Exactly. JASON HOWARD: So it sounds like everybody's going to get this kind of "one history to rule them all" type, you know, experience, right? In a recent survey, Windows Insiders chose Timeline as one of their top ten features that is now going to be available in the April 2018 Update. Obviously, it's now out in public. From your perspective, are there any users, individually or in particular, that you can think about that are going to be super excited about this feature? TOM ALPHIN: I think the feature is valuable if you have exactly one Windows PC, but it's going to be significantly more popular amongst people that have either multiple PCs or multiple PCs and a phone where they're choosing to use Office or Edge because then you can actually pick up the activities across the device boundary. And that's really powerful because once you find that cool website on your phone, trying to get it off of your phone is a pain. And if I could just change nothing about how I use my phone, but when I sit down at my PC, I know with confidence if I go into my timeline it's going to show me the stuff that I was viewing on my phone earlier today or yesterday. That is a bit of a game-changer because I don't have to change how I use my phone. All I have to do is have confidence I can get back to that stuff easy in the future. JASON HOWARD: Well, even when you look at individual applications, right, you look at Edge, and it can port your favorites across different devices, right, correlated to your Microsoft account. And there are other Web browsers out there that will port your history and things like that so that, you know, you're on PC A, you search something, gets correlated. But, again, that's a separate profile that you have to have connected in the background, things like that. Rather than having two or three different profiles, or five different profiles across all these different applications, at least in this type of scenario where you have your one Microsoft Account that's connected to these multiple machines, you don't have to worry about remembering five accounts and five logins and tying all of that together. You get to kind of have this one simplified, seamless experience where, hey, this is the same login I have across multiple machines. And guess what? All of this just happens seamlessly in the background and the user experience seems like it's pretty smooth. TOM ALPHIN: That's right, yeah. Because your activities are roaming between your devices based on your Microsoft Account, so long as you use the same Microsoft Account on both of the devices, you'll have the same Timeline. Actually, that's a good segue to another capability that's tied up in Timeline is if I go from my first PC, where I do have a particular application installed, to a second PC where I don't have that application installed, we will actually help you when you click on that activity from that app, get that app installed on that second computer and we're really bridging the gap for the user so they can really get right back exactly into the app and content that they want on a device that maybe they don't use as often or maybe that device is new to their ecosystem. And we're just helping bridge the gap there. We really think this will help the multi-device user a ton, and again, that phone scenario is super cool. I can get back to that Word document I was reading on the go super easily on my PC, get back to that website. It's all really nicely integrated, and we think that it will continue to grow as people habituate to this and as developers embrace the platform that Timeline's built on, you'll see more and more high-quality activity cards in Timeline coming from the various apps you love. JASON HOWARD: So, obviously, this is available on Windows 10 across, you know, all the PCs that, obviously, have taken this newest update, right? So the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, you need to have that installed kind of as the baseline, and that's when the feature will show you. So you mentioned mobile OS's. What mobile platforms is this available on currently? TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. So if you have Edge on your iPhone or your Android device or your Office suite on those platforms, those will be sources that activities can get created back to appear on your PC. And it requires a new version of Edge which either is out or is about to be out for that to work properly, but Office is already working today. JASON HOWARD: Awesome. Future plans, right? I don't want you to give away the secret sauce, right? I love asking this question because anybody I ever talk to and ask them, "Hey, what are you doing next?" You know, there's that mixture of, "I can talk about some of it, I can't talk about some of it." Any cats you want to let out of the bag? TOM ALPHIN: Well, I actually can talk about something, because we've already been talking about it for a while. At Build last year, almost exactly a year ago, because we're getting ready for the next Build Conference, we made it very clear to app developers that if you write these activities into the roam APIs, they will make it into your timeline on all your PCs. And that's a big deal. What we're excited about is that we really think these activities can showcase elsewhere in Windows. One example that is already part of the product as well is if you switch between devices and there's a strong signal that that activity you were working on PC A is something you'd want to resume on a second PC, we could offer a little notification for you, "Hey, would you like to keep working on this?" And we think that's the beginning of a whole host of ways to infuse the Windows operating system with exactly what you need next. And I can't speak to exactly what we're going to do with that, because we're still kind of inventing the future, right? But we know that these activities that the Microsoft first-party applications and our third-party partners are creating, that those activities are sort of at the center of a new type of productivity in Windows. JASON HOWARD: I know we've covered a lot here, but anything else? Any other tips or tricks that you want to share about Timeline? Obviously, people need to get the newest build and get it installed so they can use it. TOM ALPHIN: Yeah. I mean, the main point that people encounter when they play with it for the first time is that we do want to make sure people's privacy are respected in this experience. So you will see when you use it for the first time, we do ask you if you'd like the activities from this PC to go back up to the cloud so they can get to your other devices. We give you a couple days of Timeline, and then below that, there's an experience built into Timeline to actually opt in and move those activities back up to the cloud. So that's something people will discover when they play with it for the first time a little bit. Another thing is I really encourage people to play with the search capability as well because I kind of find the combination of even an imperfect search term, I happen to love LEGO projects, so I might search for LEGO. It gives me a filtered Timeline, which is all of my stuff that has that keyword in it. So if I know about when it was, but I'm not sure exactly which day, I can use the combination of search, which filters the view, plus that sort of temporal timeline view to find exactly what I'm looking for. So people should play with that as well. They don't feel like they need to type enough search terms to find exactly that one thing. Just get it down to a small enough set that you can quickly scan and find what you're looking for. I think that's probably a good tease for people. Really, we want to hear from people, too. Because, you know, this is the beginning of a story. JASON HOWARD: And, obviously there's, you know, the Feedback Hub to drive feedback for Insiders. If you're on a retail build, you know you can provide feedback and Feedback Hub as well. TOM ALPHIN: Yes. And we've gotten great feedback from the Insiders watching the initial response to it when we went out end of last year and seeing what people had to share and trying with the little time we had to respond in some small ways has been really awesome. And not having that opportunity would have made for a less polished product. JASON HOWARD: Well, Tom, thank you so much for stopping by the studio today. TOM ALPHIN: Absolutely. JASON HOWARD: It's been great talking to you. TOM ALPHIN: Thank you very much, cheers. JASON HOWARD: Cheers, man. JASON HOWARD: We chat with our next Microsoft engineer about Eye Control, one of several accessibility features that the Windows team has really been investing in over the last few years. Jake, could you introduce yourself to our listeners? JAKE COHEN: Absolutely. My name is Jake Cohen, a program manager on the Windows Interaction Platform team. And I was fortunate enough to work on Eye Control the past few years and I'm really excited to talk about it. JASON HOWARD: Awesome. Real quick, for those who may not know, can you tell us a little bit about what the Windows Interaction Platform team does? JAKE COHEN: Yeah. So we work on providing support for all input device types on Windows, both in the operating system as well as public APIs for developers. We provide support for mouse and keyboard, touch, pen, precision touchpad, now eye tracking, the dial, and more. JASON HOWARD: That's quite the list. And it seems like there's a few important things that users interact with Windows through. (Laughter.) JAKE COHEN: That's right. JASON HOWARD: So before we get into the details of Eye Control, could you tell us a bit about accessibility in general and how Windows is prioritizing accessibility features as it evolves? JAKE COHEN: Absolutely. I think it really comes down to Microsoft's mission statement that Satya has defined for us, and that we've been really working towards. And it's all about empowering every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. So accessibility has been super important for us for the past 20-plus years. We've been working hard in the past few years to really aspire towards our mission statement, and when we think about accessibility, it's about empowering every person of every level of ability. And we've been taking a really focused approach to continue improving our products to fill the gaps and help people use their PCs and use Windows to improve their lives and do the things they are passionate about. JASON HOWARD: So, speaking about Eye Control, can you tell us, you know, a little bit more about it? Like, walk us through how it works and what it's like using the feature. JAKE COHEN: Yeah. So Eye Control is a product, it's built into Windows, and it allows customers to control their PC using only their eyes and a compatible eye-tracking device. So it's built leveraging eye-tracking technology, and it provides access to control a mouse, a keyboard, and a text-to-speech experience to communicate with friends and family, all with just your eyes. JASON HOWARD: Wow. So is there some sort of a camera that the user looks into? Or is it just like kind of reading where a person's eyes are gazing across like a pre-defined screen area? JAKE COHEN: We work with eye-tracking hardware that you can connect to your PC, and some devices have them integrated. Two of our hardware partners that support Windows is Tobii and now EyeTech, which is new for the April 2018 release. What you do is you connect that device, and this uses infrared lighting and cameras to basically detect where your eyes are looking relative to the screen to allow you to interact with your PC. And Windows takes that information and allows you to, say, control a mouse or keyboard with where you're looking on the screen. JASON HOWARD: So are there, say, like icons on the screen? Like, if you were trying to switch between -- what would be, like, keyboard input versus using a mouse to drag and drop and things like that? Are there, like, icons that you would look at and almost virtually eye-click them somehow? JAKE COHEN: Exactly. Yes. So Eye Control starts with a launch pad, which is UI that's always present on the screen. And when you dwell your eyes on an icon, which is the act of fixating your eyes somewhere on the screen and waiting, it'll activate a click. So it's basically a press and hold with your eyes. And you have access on the launch pad to the mouse, to the keyboard, to text-to-speech, and now in the April 2018 release, many more options to quick access to start, task view, device calibration, settings, and more. And this is really your launching point to get to the action you want. So if you want to, say, use the mouse to scroll a Web page, you first look at the scroll button basically saying, "Hey, I want to scroll." And once you're in that mode, you can fixate your eyes somewhere on the screen and then use the arrows that are provided to scroll up and down using your eyes. So lets you browse the Web or scroll an app. JASON HOWARD: Something interesting for me, the difference between a left mouse click versus a right mouse click? JAKE COHEN: Yes. For that, we do have individual UI for a left-click action and a right-click action on the launch pad. We also have one option for precise mouse interactions that let you position your eyes on the screen, fine tune the position of the mouse, and then select what action you want with that mouse, which could be right click, left click, or double left click. JASON HOWARD: That was going to be my next question -- what happens between a single click versus the double click? JAKE COHEN: Yeah. And you raise a really good point, too. There are a wide range of interactions that are supported on Windows that people do every single day. And it's quite a complex problem to provide support for that with just your eyes. You know, we're just getting started with providing support for left click, right click, double left click for scrolling, for the keyboard, but there's more interactions that we need to work towards as well like zooming and drag and drop. And these are really fun, complex problems to work towards to let someone do all of these things with just their eyes. JASON HOWARD: So what's the story behind how Microsoft went about developing this eye-tracking feature? JAKE COHEN: It's a very exciting story. It started several years in the 2014 Microsoft company-wide hackathon, and started with Steve Gleason, NFL football player, New Orleans Saints, that is living with ALS. Sent an e-mail and challenged Microsoft to help improve his life with technology. A famous quote he has is, "Before we have a cure for ALS, technology is that cure." And it brings up a really good point. You know, as technology evolves and as technology can do more and more for people, it helps fill the gap and empower people to do things they couldn't do before. And with that e-mail, there was a team got together, built a hackathon project on eye tracking to let Steve drive his wheelchair. JASON HOWARD: Oh, wow. JAKE COHEN: He can drive his wheelchair with his son around his house, which is incredible. And from there a team at Microsoft Research has dedicated their time the last three years plus to building technology to help improve people's lives that are living with mobility impairments, both with eye tracking, as well as those who are blind. And they've evolved and grown their technical expertise and have learned a ton and are working with people living with ALS in the community to learn more and work with them and help them individually. And in this past year, we found a point which there was a great opportunity to bring all of this learning and opportunity right into Windows, so more customers around the world can leverage this technology in an easier way to help let them control their PC and do what they want to do. JASON HOWARD: Just thinking, you know, you buy a new computer and you're booting up. Previously, that out-of-box experience was very -- there were no audio cues or anything. JAKE COHEN: Right. JASON HOWARD: You had to be able to see what was on the screen. JAKE COHEN: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: It required somebody of full abilities to walk through the process, really. And now, Cortana's integrated where she actually speaks to people. JAKE COHEN: That's great. JASON HOWARD: Right? There's high-contrast mode included as part of the out-of-box experience. It's like, piece by piece, we keep bringing Windows closer and closer to those who may need some additional assistance and going through what are just some of the common tasks in using the operating system. JAKE COHEN: It's a great evolution, I'd say, of Windows and what we are doing to fulfill our mission statement and to fill the gap and to help people with variations of ability better use their PC, use their devices, have an impact on their lives. And it's a really good trajectory we're on to really be customer focused and focused on the end to end solution, not tools that you can plug in and use in certain scenarios, but what is the from beginning to end, I get my PC, I'm started, I'm booted up. I can now use it on my day-to-day, I can use it at work and transition to future devices and updates as well. JASON HOWARD: So knowing that we kind of have a habit around here of starting a good thing and then opening up a bit more broadly so that additional third parties and users externally can kind of plug in and take it to the next level, what is the future past what we've done so far? Do you have any plans for, like, APIs or anything that you're going to do to try to enable developers to kind of build on top of what you all have already put together? JAKE COHEN: Absolutely. This is one of the things I'm most excited about for this next release of Windows. In the Fall Creators Update, we released Eye Control in box for the first time. In the April 2018 Update, we have really great improvements to Eye Control, but the next step we're taking as well is releasing public developer APIs and open-source libraries that was used exactly the same in Windows to build Eye Control to allow third-party developers to build apps and experiences that can leverage eye tracking. And imagine all of the gaps that third-party developers can fill for customers who are living with mobility impairments to use in their day-to-day life. You know, I think it comes down to Microsoft's core roots. We can't fulfill this mission statement alone to empower everyone, we have to empower everyone to empower other people and to build a platform. We're a platform company, and this what I'm most excited for next is to see what developers can think of and come up with and build and make an impact. JASON HOWARD: Seems to be one of the things that we as a company are good at is we put together a solid foundation that has the right hooks and integrations into the OS, and then open the door and see what other people can come up with. JAKE COHEN: Yeah. So these APIs just came out and we're showing them off at Build and we're excited to see what comes next. JASON HOWARD: What are some of the next things that you think are super important that you and the rest of your team will be working on? JAKE COHEN: We take a very customer-centric approach, especially for Eye Control, since it is designed for a targeted set of audience and people who really need it. We've been working closely with Microsoft Research and people living with ALS in the community, as well as Team Gleason, a nonprofit foundation that helps people who are living with ALS, to collect feedback, to let them use Eye Control and tell us what works great, what's missing, and what's needed next. And it's really inspiring to get this feedback because we hear people say, "This is amazing technology, this is really helping me." And also, "This is the next thing I need." It's about empowering them to do everything they can think of, not just a subset of interactions or abilities. And that's what's driving the next steps is collecting feedback and addressing the next top things that people want to do in Windows. JASON HOWARD: So for you individually, what drove you to become part of the Windows Interaction Platform team? Like, what landed you here? JAKE COHEN: Well, it started with a really strong interest in thinking about how we're evolving the way we interact with devices and technology -- the evolution of the smart phone and touch interactions being such a huge player in how we use these devices, and how that's changing the way we work and live with voice as a key interaction being more predominant today with voice-activated assistants, as well as smart home speakers. And it's just really exciting to think about how we can push the boundary and make things and PCs more natural and intuitive to use and just make it more smooth throughout your day-to-day life. And eye tracking is a really exciting space where there's a very natural aspect to where your eyes are looking on the screen and what that intent is and what you're thinking and doing, and can help you if you are only using your eyes, as well as if you're fully able and can use other modalities to do multi-modal interactions. So the interaction space is very, very cool. JASON HOWARD: Well, Jake, thank you so much for thinking the time to be here with us today to talk about eye tracking. No doubt, it's something that has a very long and bright future ahead of it. Can't wait to see what's coming next. JAKE COHEN: Yeah, that's so much. It's been really fun. JASON HOWARD: For our third feature today, we'll be chatting about Fluent design. Fluent design is a new design language for Windows 10 with guidelines for designs and interactions covering components such as light, depth, motion, material, as well as scale. Fluent design makes applications look great across all types of Windows-powered devices. Speaking on this topic today is Samuele Dassatti, a Windows Insider who developed his own productivity and scheduling app called Fluently, which is now available in the Microsoft store. Samuele is only 18 years old, and has been coding since he was 13. He's using the proceeds from this application to pay for university. Welcome, Samuele, where are you calling from today? SAMUELE DASSATTI: I'm from Italy, in the northern region of Italy. JASON HOWARD: All right. So, tell us a little bit about your app. Can you give the audience a walk-through of what your application does and what prompted you to create it? SAMUELE DASSATTI: Well, my app is a digital diary with the support for the Surface Pen. I decided to create it because in my school, we use a tablet instead of books. And I needed a way to write on my Surface Pro, my notes as if I were writing on paper. So I started developing this UWP app, Fluently, and I really liked the Fluent design system, which was presented at Build 2017 so I decided to implement it in my app. And the fact that the app looked so beautiful made me proud of it and I, ultimately, decided to publish it on the Windows Store in October or so. And after I published it, I was nominated for the Windows Developer Awards 2018, so it's a great result for me. JASON HOWARD: Awesome. So your application basically lets you keep a calendar and notes by handwriting on a Surface with the Surface Pen. So it seems like it's good for people who like the feeling of paper, but want the flexibility of a digital calendar, it seems like those would be the kind of people that would love your application Fluently. SAMUELE DASSATTI: Yeah. From what I've seen, many of the people that write me usually come from pen and paper, maybe they add a Surface or a similar device with pen support, but they use it not that often, and maybe just for some basic sketching. But after seeing Fluently and acknowledging how intuitive it was, many of them thank me because I gave them a reason to use their Surface or XPS two-in-one, for example. JASON HOWARD: Just in talking, right, we heard a little bit about you, that you were self-taught when it comes to coding, and you started when you were 13. Obviously, you're a bit older now and you're about to start university, so can you tell us a little bit about your plans and, you know, what you're dreaming about for the future? SAMUELE DASSATTI: I just got admitted at the University of Trento, near where I live, which I heard is a really good university for computer science. And I want to study programming there because I believe coding opens many doors in the future because it is required almost everywhere, and I hope that the fact that I have some experience may help me in the university. JASON HOWARD: Awesome. Thank you so much for stopping by the studio today. SAMUELE DASSATTI: Thank you for the opportunity. JASON HOWARD: Ever wonder what it's like to be an engineer on the Windows Insider team and to be part of the massive rush that is evolving the most popular operating system in the world? Dona Sarkar joins me in the studio to talk about the joys and headaches of engineering. DONA SARKAR: Hi, Jason. JASON HOWARD: Hi, Dona. DONA SARKAR: What are you doing? You're on my side of the booth. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: I won that argument, everybody. DONA SARKAR: He did. Jason won an argument, everyone. He's now on my side of the booth. Therefore, I think we should have our connect on the air, Jason. JASON HOWARD: I don't think anybody wants to listen to that. DONA SARKAR: Jason, what are three things you could have done better this year? (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: Well, one thing I did right was standing on this side of the booth. DONA SARKAR: That's about it. Now, this is going to cost you three articles on the website described your day-to-day. (Laughter.) JASON HOWARD: I'm making my own job harder here. DONA SARKAR: Yes, he is. JASON HOWARD: I don't like how this is turning out. DONA SARKAR: Yes, he is. All right, so I have some questions for you. JASON HOWARD: All right. DONA SARKAR: You have been "Insidering" for, what? Four years? A long time. JASON HOWARD: A while. DONA SARKAR: Right? Yeah, a long time. You've been "Insidering" longer than I have, you've been "Insidering" longer than most of the team. So before I showed up here, you talked about three of the Insider community's favorite features in the new update, and they were all super exciting -- Timeline, Eye Control, Fluent design. Those are some of my favorites, too, along with all of the stuff around focus assistant, etcetera. Can you share with everybody, what role did Insiders play in the evolution of these new features? And how did their feedback make it to the table where decisions are made? JASON HOWARD: Well, it's -- I don't want to expand the discussion super far, especially not coming right out of the gate, but it's the same as any other feature that we've introduced along the development of Windows 10. You know, the development teams come up with this awesome idea of something they want to put in, it shows up in a preview build and everybody freaks out and gets excited and they're like, "Oh, my goodness, what is this new piece of awesomeness that's here?" And then they're, like, "Okay, well, I want it to work this way or this part's broke, you know, what can we do to change this? Have you guys thought about this? Because it currently doesn't do it this way or it doesn't do this at all." So Insiders will use the feature, they'll send us all the good feedback. You know, they yell at us on Twitter and all that kind of fun stuff. You know, that's one of the fun parts of my job. But, you know, for each of these individual features, along with everything else that's in Windows 10, it's the same usual process. And I don't mean to make it sound mundane, because it's absolutely awesome, you know, it kind of goes like that. We introduce a feature, we take in that feedback, and then we see what changes. It's easy to talk about the Fluent side of things because it's one of the most obvious because it's something that everybody sees. Like when Fluent showed up in the settings panel, it was one of the things that people were, like, "Oh, my goodness, this changed dramatically." Because all of a sudden there's this smooth transition of light from, you know, item to item in the panel, and there's this glow around whatever you're highlighted over. It was a super obvious type thing. For Eye Control, not everybody uses that feature. Even though it's super important for those who do. DONA SARKAR: That's right. JASON HOWARD: And then, of course, Timeline. You know, it having replaced the old Task View, it's a paradigm shift. You know, when this was announced it was, what, Build last year when they announced it? DONA SARKAR: Yeah, that's right. JASON HOWARD: The fact that that's available now and, you know, can literally transport you back in time to something you were doing on a different machine on a different day, that's huge. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: And users talking about some of the bugs that showed up with it, and even now as, you know, we're having this discussion, there's an interesting bug that has shown up late that it's one of the interesting things about how interconnected everything is within Windows. Because as I'm standing here talking right now, there's a bug being actively worked on by the development teams that, when it triggers, your screen blinks. DONA SARKAR: That's right. I've seen it. JASON HOWARD: And it's, like, wait, how is this the fault of Timeline? And without getting too far into the details of the bug itself, it's related to an empty value being returned to the Timeline feature when it's looking for some of your history. DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: So something that you were using on one machine that isn't even installed on the machine that you're experiencing the bug on, it's making a call to bring some of that Timeline activity over, and it's receiving this unexpected empty value, and then that ends up translating into the service crashing, which gives you the blink on the screen. But instead of it crashing once and recovering, because every time it keeps recalling back, it keeps looping in that same experience. DONA SARKAR: That's right. JASON HOWARD: So you just end up with this just blinking screen. DONA SARKAR: Yes. JASON HOWARD: And once every three to five seconds, your screen just blinks and blinks and blinks. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. I've hit that on one of my machines, and that was a fun adventure. But it reminds me of this bug that I ran into like in Windows 7 where we were not getting the return back from Open Search. So we were in infinite Open Search loop, and the search box would just open, close, open, close, open, close. It was amazing. People were like, "Oh, my God, my machine is haunted." Yeah, this is pretty awesome. So we called that the "haunted search box." It was pretty good. Okay, so we know Insiders really want us to do better at letting them know when their bugs and feedback is addressed. Can you share with the audience a little bit about how feedback on preview builds get processed and prioritized? JASON HOWARD: Yeah, of course. I mean, we did a webcast last year on this. DONA SARKAR: That's right. JASON HOWARD: I think it was October where we had some of the devs and some of the PMs from the, you know, from the Feedback Hub team come and talk to this. But the gist of it is, you know, there's a giant deluge of feedback that continually comes in. DONA SARKAR: Petabytes. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. The amount of data is -- DONA SARKAR: A day, yeah. JASON HOWARD: It's pretty insane. And then when you look at the number of pieces of feedback -- because, you know, all those petabytes are attached as logs and machine info, so we know, you know, hey, is this happening on Surface Books or is it happening on a different brand of laptop? You know, whatever the scenario may be that's triggering whatever bug or feature that somebody's reporting information on. So when a team sees all of this, because the feedback comes in based upon how it gets filed. And so there's a primary category and then a secondary subcategory. And, you know, each one of these categories is assigned to a team. And the team will go through and look at the feedback that has come in and they look at, hey, so for this development cycle, we have, you know, three or four or whatever number of core priorities, things we're trying to land, right? And so whether it's revamping an old feature, creating a new feature, or in some circumstances, you know, if they feel that their product needs some extra special attention they'll be, like, "Hey, we're going to focus on making the quality of our feature really good in this particular release, and then we'll add stuff later." So all the feedback that comes in, they take a look at how many pieces of feedback have come in, what's been up-voted the most, what's going to have the greatest impact, and they compare all of that with what are the big milestones that we have on our internal roadmap? DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: And so then it kind of gets shuffled and prioritized and stacked and even with some bugs that come in where it may not have been something that was expected to be on our radar, if there's a big bug that slipped up and it's affecting a lot of people, it's going to get prioritized. So to go back to Fluent for a moment, there's been a big cry to have Fluent introduced into the Feedback Hub itself for a while. DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: But one of the big things that Feedback Hub has been as a team that, you know, for that particular application, the team has been working on is in being more robust when it comes to log collection. DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: So that there's less additional tools that users will have to run and all that kind of thing. Because if you can streamline the pipeline of the intake process, then all the engineering teams within Microsoft, you can get consolidated in one process, everybody knows where to go for the data. You're not having to have users install extra apps or run troubleshooters and all this kind of stuff. DONA SARKAR: Or go back and forth with the dev six times, like we've had to in the past. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. And that's another interesting thing is, you know, a dev can take a piece of feedback and say, "Oh, I need more information," and enable extra log collection so people can resubmit that. DONA SARKAR: Which is super cool. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. So, you know, using all those processes together, you know, the teams will determine, "Hey, what is the thing that we should focus on now?" DONA SARKAR: I totally agree with that. One of the things that we've been hearing from Insiders is whether the bug is addressed or not, they just want to know, right? And I like that. I love that idea. And I think so far, we've been really one-to-one with letting Insiders know when their bug is fixed. Like, you know, we did the project where we popped up the notifications like, "Hey, Insider, your bug is fixed, thank you, it's in this build." And then we also sent e-mail in case they're not looking at SIFS or have them disabled. But then we realized that Insiders are not able to see all of the things they may have experienced, but didn't necessarily file or up-vote. So I am going to do an experiment starting this month on tweeting out the bug fixes that have been impactful that a lot of people up-voted. So I'm looking at bugs that have, like, 30-plus up-votes and just doing a tweet when it's fixed and in which build, because I think that a lot of Insiders will be, like, "Oh, yeah, I ran into that, I couldn't isolate it or trap it, but I did run into it." So that should be kind of interesting. I asked the Insiders last week on Twitter if that would be interesting and everyone was like, "Yes, we want to see that." I said, "Okay, it might be noisy and annoying, but we'll see." Okay, how do new features get chosen to be developed? Please tell the Insiders, because they all want to know. JASON HOWARD: That's fun. I kind of alluded to a little bit of it in my last response, right? Where, you know, teams figure out what they want to work on, and they go and work on it. But it's a little more complicated than that. As a company, Microsoft has a direction that it's headed in. And it's the responsibility of all the teams that are working on -- at least in this case within Windows, right, to make sure that their work ladders up to meeting those overall objectives. Each team, of course, gets some leeway to work on special side projects or things they think are important, but the overall message of, "Hey, these are the things that are important for Microsoft as a company, and these are the features that we want to bring to Windows, these are the goals for the product itself." Each of the teams, they have a responsibility to ensure that what they're working on drives to the mission that we as a company are pushing forward to. DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: So part of it comes from top-down, which is, hey, somebody makes a decision at the top, you know, an idea that Satya has or somebody in the SLT at that level -- SLT being the senior leadership team. Somebody comes up with an idea, they get buy-off on it, and then it filters down in the teams that are going to be impacted, right? Because there's tons of sub teams that make up the whole Windows Engineering organization. So each of those teams will figure out which pieces of the project do they own, what is it going to take for them to, you know, put their piece of the pie together? You know, put their piece of the puzzle in there, and then that becomes part of their roadmap, whether it's in the current development cycle, the next one, two out, three out. And for some of them, especially like if you look in the deployment space, some of the things that they've been working on started back in RS1. DONA SARKAR: Oh, yeah. JASON HOWARD: And even now that we're just kicking off RS5, you know, it's still going and it will be there in 6 and whatever names come beyond and into the future. There's stuff that they're doing now that is just a -- we'll just call it a multi-year process, because it's not just -- you know, it's not just flipping a switch and all of a sudden, it's there and everything's great. If it was, hey, you know, development would be a lot easier than it is. DONA SARKAR: Absolutely. Most of our features don't get done in six months and they don't get done in a week or two weeks. I've seen, for myself, like just working on the HoloLens project, that started in 2008 and didn't release until like 2014. So it's not small, this Windows development thing. And even just like, you know, making changes to an app, that is not small because you change one thing, and it may have, you know, like you were saying, these repercussions in all parts of the operating system -- years lasting. JASON HOWARD: It brings up an interesting point for me because one of the curiosities that I see sometimes is when somebody says, "Well, I reported this last week, why isn't it fixed?" DONA SARKAR: Oh, yeah. JASON HOWARD: It's tough when you're working in an organization this big sometimes to get attention to the right thing -- at least when you feel it's the right thing. And it goes to the point we made earlier about a competing priority. There is shuffling that happens within teams and sometimes it just requires a sizable chunk of the day to be, like, "Look, we're going to impact this many people if we don't fix this." DONA SARKAR: Exactly. JASON HOWARD: Or, "We are impacting this many people by not having this implemented." DONA SARKAR: That's right. JASON HOWARD: And, again, that's where some of the ideas of what should we do next, that's where some of that stuff comes from. And that's the suggestions from Insiders, that's suggestions from, you know, enterprises and companies that we work with and that run our products and services. It really is global input both on the individual scale as well as being on larger scales from those that we partner with. DONA SARKAR: A very real example was Creators, where when Surface launched, one of the coolest things it had was inking capability. And initially, it was like, okay, this works great in OneNote. And we got so much feedback from Insiders, starting 2014, like, "Hey, we're artists, we're writers, we're illustrators, we work in education, and we feel like there can be more inking in the operating system. Since you have a device with a pen, let's put more stuff in the operating system for pens." So the entire year of Creators Update and Fall Creators Update was all based on providing opportunities for those audiences, which I really liked because that was one of the first times we've really looked at consumers, broad consumers, who, you know, people aren't really catering to. Right? Not many people are creating technology for people who write, even though that's something everyone in the world does, right, at some point or another. And I really like that we spent a year working on, you know, these really awesome inking features. And many enterprises are now saying, "This is awesome, we like this a lot," especially for notetaking and such and such. And as we translate like my horrible handwriting into auto typing and such. Okay. So we love all of our Insiders, but my goodness, you guys can be a little creative sometimes. Sometimes. So, Jason, what is the craziest request you've ever received from an Insider? JASON HOWARD: Oh, goodness. (Laughter.) I've got years' worth of thinking back to do on this one. DONA SARKAR: Yeah, exactly, because you're engaged in some very exciting conversations sometimes. JASON HOWARD: That is true. One of the things that I can't do that I get asked, and it surprises me how often I get asked this, is: You're Microsoft, why can't you just remote into my machine and fix it? DONA SARKAR: Oh, my. Okay. JASON HOWARD: I'm, like, "Um --" DONA SARKAR: I'm sure that would go super well. JASON HOWARD: I do not want to be on your computer. DONA SARKAR: No. JASON HOWARD: Not to mention the legal side of it that I don't want to have to wade through. DONA SARKAR: No. JASON HOWARD: I just don't want to be in people's personal machines, right? DONA SARKAR: No. JASON HOWARD: It sounds funny. The thing is, oftentimes, the things that people are requesting that I fix aren't really things that I could log in and fix anyway. Yeah, it's easy to change settings, it's easy to go through and delete some files and clear up disk space and things like that, but those are things that I can guide users through. And we've got documentation and things like that I can refer them to, right? I don't need to log in and do that stuff. But it's, like, "Hey, I'm getting specific error code this that's preventing me from updating this Store app." I will tell you, there is no magic wand for me to go into your machine and wave and just magically fix that for you, unfortunately. Do I wish there was? Oh, absolutely. Right? It would make my job a lot easier. But in the grand scheme of things, that's not really something I can do. Something else that's super fun is when I get asked to specifically push down an update faster. DONA SARKAR: Oh, yeah. JASON HOWARD: I'm, like, um, I don't know what kind of bandwidth you have. DONA SARKAR: No. JASON HOWARD: I don't know where you're located, but those are like physical hardware property things that I really can't control. DONA SARKAR: Uh-uh. (Negative.) JASON HOWARD: And it goes to show the difference in -- it's one of the things that I absolutely love about this program, but it can prove interesting at times. It's the difference in like -- what's the right way to say this? DONA SARKAR: Words. JASON HOWARD: Yeah, I know, words are difficult sometimes. How connected a user is into the intricacies of technology. That's not exactly how I want to say it, but it takes work and it takes time to make things change and make them work the way you want to. DONA SARKAR: And it's human made. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. And you know there are still physical limitations. You know, I would love a new update to download to my machine -- like here on campus, I want it to download in two minutes. It doesn't. DONA SARKAR: No. Which has the best connectivity in the world. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. I mean, you know, this is Microsoft's headquarters, of course. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: But at some point in time, sometimes it's just about setting realistic expectations. DONA SARKAR: Agree on that. I once got a request from someone to come to their school in Singapore and yell at the principal to let them install Insider builds on all the machines. JASON HOWARD: That actually seems like a laudable goal. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. It seemed pretty legit. I was thinking about it. Like, this wouldn't be the worst, we could go to Singapore and yell. We go lots of places and yell, so we can yell in Singapore, that's fine. We yell, that's fine. (Laughter.) Okay, so Windows is an OS that serves more than a billion people in lots of languages -- let's say "lots." It's crazy complicated, takes a lot of work to get updates ready for the public -- like today. So why do we torture ourselves with this? Why do we ship twice a year to the general public? Why do we ship to Insiders sometimes three or four times a week? Why do we do this, Jason? Why? JASON HOWARD: Because it's awesome? I mean, it really is. When you think about Microsoft five years ago, ten years ago, there was the perception of it being a slow-moving iceberg, really, where it would take two, three, four or more years to get this gigantic update that would come out. And it would be almost a wholesale overhaul of the entire OS. DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: The look would be different, the feel would be almost completely different. I mean, especially like when you look at the jump from Windows 7 to Windows 8, like we threw the world for a loop with that one. DONA SARKAR: XP to Win 7, too. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. DONA SARKAR: It was, like, "What is the search box you've introduced?" JASON HOWARD: And then that little hop in the middle called "Vista" that everybody -- DONA SARKAR: Yep. I was there. I was there. JASON HOWARD: All those question marks that came up. So not only was it about getting features out to customers faster, there was a lot to be said for getting bug fixes and just general changes out. And I mean all of this culminated in the reason the Insider Program was created was the old -- let's call it what it is, the old beta program was, "Hey, we're a year out from a release approximately, we're going to give you a build of what we've built so far, so you can start." DONA SARKAR: And it's pretty locked. Yeah. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. There's not much that's going to change. DONA SARKAR: Other than like UI things or maybe a driver or some app compat. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. And users would, you know, test it out, check it out, throw some feedback over the wall on User Voice or whatever other channel they decided to use, and who knows if it would get fixed or not? So as the world of technology itself continues to evolve with speed to market becoming vastly important, there's and point in sitting on a new feature for two years because, number one, somebody else is going to beat you to market with it. DONA SARKAR: Absolutely. JASON HOWARD: Somebody else already knows about it and is probably already working on it. But who wants to be sitting on a broken build for two years? Right? DONA SARKAR: No one. JASON HOWARD: I mean, we've got Patch Tuesday or whatnot, but some things require a bit more lifting than can just be dropped out in a monthly servicing-type release. So now with our new -- I'll just call it a sped-up model, right, of Windows as a service of us dropping a few times a year, new features don't require a two- or three-year holding period -- DONA SARKAR: No. JASON HOWARD: -- before people get to come and check out the latest and greatest. Like I mentioned, the Insider Program, it's not, "Hey, we're going to give you this a year ahead of time, and you'll get what you get when we release it later." DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: You know, users have that return voice channel between the Feedback Hub and reaching out to -- DONA SARKAR: Us. JASON HOWARD: -- Microsoft engineers directly. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: You know, that's one of the fun things, like I mentioned earlier about being on Twitter all the time -- it's really fun to connect with people that are super passionate about Windows and changing the future of it that love to share their voice. Now, granted, you know, it's the same as with anything, you know? We don't always take every single piece of feedback. It's not always going to show up in the product. DONA SARKAR: No. JASON HOWARD: Especially when you have two people that have diametrically opposed ideas. DONA SARKAR: Oh, yeah, absolutely. JASON HOWARD: I like this in light mode, I don't like it in dark mode. DONA SARKAR: I like this in hate mode, yeah. JASON HOWARD: It's not always possible to make both at the same time. You just can't do it. But, really, a lot of it has to do with making sure that the technology we're creating gets out to users in a fast, and hopefully friendly manner. You know, even our updates have gotten way better than they used to be. DONA SARKAR: Oh, way better. JASON HOWARD: So between that, making sure that we're staying more reliable with, you know, the productivity side of the OS, you know, those features showing up, and then making sure the OS is actually functioning correctly. DONA SARKAR: That's right. JASON HOWARD: Like the number of unexpected crashes and things like that. We continue to get better on those metrics year over year and release over release. And then, of course, there's the entire side of getting the features out, like I mentioned before, but if we don't do it, somebody else will. DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: And I would rather us be doing it and helping drive the technology, the sphere of what's coming next, as opposed to being reactive and being, like, "Oh, they did it, okay, let's hurry up and catch up to what they're doing," just to try to achieve parity. Because you can't be a leader in the marketplace if you're chasing parity. DONA SARKAR: No. I just like the fact that people are heard in real time. Right? Like we rolled out this thing, you know, last Monday and then we get feedback on Monday. And what's so curious to me is it's still hard for some of the more traditional engineers to wrap their heads around. At least once a week, I get an e-mail from an engineer in the company who says, "Hey, I checked this code into the build, it's going to hit WinMain soon, how do I get it to Insiders." I said, "No, you're done. Your part's now done. If you checked in code, it's going to Insiders in two days." They said, "How does that happen?" I said, "It just happens. They get the exact same build we have two days later." Everyone is still kind of wrapping their heads around this, that we can just ship externally, we've been doing it for four years now, it's not new. But to traditional engineers, it's still mind boggling that things can go out to all the customers who've opted into this, not just like, you know, specific partners and not just like super NDA people, but to anyone who wants it, they can get our fresh coat of paint work two days later. So that's fun. JASON HOWARD: I mean, the fact that that curtain got lifted and that we're showing people so much -- DONA SARKAR: In real time. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. Of what used to just be, you know, hidden and behind the scenes. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: You know, you don't talk about kind of, you know, for pop culture reference, you don't talk about Fight Club, right? DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: The fact that we're showing a lot of what's actually being done that quickly. And whether it makes it into the product or not. I mean, there's been stuff we've checked in that, oops, we have to -- DONA SARKAR: Backsies! Backsies! Yeah. JASON HOWARD: Yeah, we're thinking that back out. We're showing the human side of code development along the way. DONA SARKAR: Which is it's messy and awesome in real time. All right, what's your favorite part of the job, other than being on our team? JASON HOWARD: Besides having you as my boss -- DONA SARKAR: Obviously. JASON HOWARD: That's definitely the best part of the job. (Laughter.) DONA SARKAR: I'm not yelling at him behind the scenes, Insiders, nor am I beating him with the cake spoon. JASON HOWARD: I'm saying that so she doesn't get mad at me from earlier of stealing this particular microphone. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. Jason's not going to have an office this afternoon. Stay in the booth. JASON HOWARD: I know, I'm going to just be sitting cross-legged in the hall with my laptop in my lap. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: That's going to give it the real name of a "laptop." DONA SARKAR: Yeah, in the hallway. JASON HOWARD: It'll be sitting in my lap. Favorite part of my job? It has to be the interaction with people from around the globe. The fact that we have these huge fans that take time out of their personal lives and out of their day, whether they're at work or at home or, you know, spending time with their family or whatever, to engage with us, to come and talk shop with us about our products, the things that impact their life to the extent that they are willing to dedicate their time, their emotions, their energy into helping make it better than it is, and hopefully the best that it can become. And the fact that I get to play a role in spending time with them and somehow I manage to get paid to do that, that still boggles my mind. But I couldn't think of a better thing to be doing at work. DONA SARKAR: What's keeping you up at night? Good and bad? Other than your back pain. JASON HOWARD: Yeah, that's not fun. DONA SARKAR: Yeah. JASON HOWARD: Making sure people are heard. Going through the long list of feedback that we get and finding what I will call the "diamonds in the rough" of feedback that may be underrepresented, but that is going to have a huge impact. DONA SARKAR: The millions represent the billions. JASON HOWARD: Yeah. And when you only hear the voice of two or three people complaining about something, and it's really impactful to them, figuring out that this is really going to affect a lot of people, and it takes data, it takes time to compile that and figure out, you know, hey, how does this scale in the broader scheme of things? Are these people representing just themselves or a ton of other people, like you just mentioned? DONA SARKAR: Right. JASON HOWARD: I'm constantly thinking about how do I do a better job of this, what is it that I missed that's going to affect a lot of people? What can I stop that's going to have a broad effect on people? And how can I keep them from having that bad experience? DONA SARKAR: I really love that, too. I like when you and, like, two or three Insiders are troubleshooting some super-random-sounding thing. But then it winds up being like a big deal that affects, like, 100,000 people. JASON HOWARD: Yeah, we've caught a few of those along the way. DONA SARKAR: Oh, yeah. Absolutely. JASON HOWARD: You know, two or three people, and the next thing you know it's like -- DONA SARKAR: Oh, a lot. JASO

Office macros need security? Yes! Richard chats with Karim El-Melhaoui about the issues around Office macros. With default settings, VBA macros in the Office suite are incredibly powerful and are an effective malware vector. While Microsoft has some built-in capabilities to warn users about enabling macros, modern malware makers have been socially engineering users to bypass those protections. You can go heavy handed and disable macros with group policy, but what if you need them? Karim talks about some of the latest features coming in the Windows 10 Creators Update to provide more granular security for Office macros. But maybe it's time to move away from them entirely?
In honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3rd, the Windows Insider Podcast team explores advancements in inclusive technology. For decades, Microsoft has been creating products and services to serve people of all abilities, and in recent years the company has made a stronger commitment to this goal with the appointment of Chief Accessibility Officer, Jenny Lay-Flurrie. In this episode, we chat with Jenny about the future of inclusive tech, and we learn how feedback from users (and Windows Insiders!) is shaping Microsoft’s efforts. To find out more about Microsoft’s commitment to accessibility and inclusion, visit Microsoft.com/Accessibility. Episode transcript: NARRATOR: Welcome to the Windows Insider where we explore all things Windows, the Insider community and beyond I'm your host, Jason Howard (ph). You are listening to Episode 9, and this month's theme is accessibility JASON HOWARD: Wait a minute, that's not me. That was the Windows 10 Narrator. And it's more than just a podcast gimmick, the Narrator feature helps people who are blind or have low vision navigate their computers by reading what's on screen When you think about how much of what we do in the world relies on what can be read, you really start to understand how this technology could impact the lives of millions of people More and more accessibility features are built into the DNA of Microsoft services and products. These features deliver on Microsoft's mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. That includes ensuring people of all abilities can participate in life, work, and society Today, we're going to talk to someone who's taking the ideals of accessibility and inclusion and putting them into action. Please meet Microsoft's Chief Accessibility Officer, Jenny Lay-Flurrie So here you are the Chief Accessibility Officer. JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: I am JASON HOWARD: What does that mean JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Basically, it means that my job is to drive for a great experience for customers with disabilities and employees with disabilities, and also really pursue the concept of inclusive design. So it just means I'm really thinking about a section of our customer base that's pretty big, and how we can ensure that we're delivering great products, great services, great hiring process, to ensure that we're really inclusive JASON HOWARD: A few years ago, accessibility could have been considered a side project at many companies, but things have changed, at least at Microsoft. Now it's becoming an integral part of our company culture and product development. Can you tell us how that happened JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Yeah, it's kind of cool what's going on, and I'm loving being part of it. But actually accessibility has been part of Microsoft's strategy for well over actually 20 years. But we've definitely in the last couple of years decided to really kick it up a notch And by kicking it up a notch, it's just really leaning into the opportunity that we have. You know, there's a billion people in the world with disabilities, a billion plus. These are our customers, our friends, our peers, our everything. And there's a whole suite of innovation that can come from really designing products and building products that include disability So we invested in some resources across the company, across our product divisions, including my lovely team, and really decided to go after that opportunity to build better products, and to really think about how we were hiring talent across the spectrum of disability as well JASON HOWARD: So Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella has a son who's in a wheelchair because of cerebral palsy, and is paralyzed. Satya has said in his new book Hit Refresh that having a son with disabilities has made him more empathetic, and that's one of the reasons he's committed to driving accessibility and inclusion at Microsoft. That explains why the company is working towards some of these accessibility initiatives On a personal level what experience has led you to working in accessibility JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: It's a great question, and Satya, the book is just it's incredible. And if you haven't read it, please do. I mean, Satya is sharing his own personal experiences there. It's just incredibly powerful I think we've all had a personal journey. My personal journey, let's just say I would never have predicted that I would be doing this job today. I mean, I come from a small town on the outskirts of Birmingham in the UK. I went through mainstream education. I went to a music college. I got a classical music degree. And I thought I was going to be a really cool classical rock star or a music therapist or something in that vein And then I started working in IT, actually in a newspaper in London on the IT help desk, and realized that I dig, I just love problem-solving. And I thought that was going to be my career was, you know, solving problems with IT and doing a bit of music on the side But all the way through the one stream that I've had all the way through this is that I'm deaf, I'm profoundly deaf. And my deafness has decreased since I was a child So I went to music college with moderate deafness. It's slid since then. And I never, ever -- I mean, I hid my deafness for many years, wasn't really open about it. But I think maybe people way wiser and smarter than me could have predicted the path is me realizing that I could really use these skills, and use them to make a difference, not just for me and my friends, but to make a difference seriously in a company like Microsoft So I came to Microsoft 13 years ago. I came to run technical support, still solving problems, and then about five, six years ago took a risk and changed career, and went to be an individual contributor to change the world for customers with disabilities, and I've never looked back JASON HOWARD: Wow. So how does working in this field change the way you see the world JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: I've worked in different jobs over the years, you know, whether it was support or online advertising for a while. I've worked in different things. And I firmly believe that technology has the power to empower. And I've seen that in different spheres, but I think never more in the work that I do today, which is every day working with peers and friends, seeing how they're leveraging technology and just realizing and appreciating what we can do to make that experience better, whether it's somebody using a wheelchair with limited dexterity manipulating some part of Office, or it's somebody who's blind working through a web page, whether that's our own or someone else's, or me with captioning and how that changes my life and others, and how we can get that more integrated into the fabric of our company So you know, I really do think that it's a really empowering field to work in. I walk out every day with the same frustrations and same joys as everyone else, but I do have a deep-seated sense that we are making a difference. And that's the opportunity we have JASON HOWARD: Well, as you just mentioned Office, Microsoft has developed a wide variety of accessibility features such as Windows 10 Narrator, Office 365's built-in tools for authoring accessible content, things of that nature. There's even eye tracking technology that enables people who have limited mobility to navigate their PCs using only their eyes Can you tell us about the development of those features? Did anything come up unnecessary during the R&D research and development cycle JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: I don't know what you mean. I don't think anything ever comes up that surprises during an R&D cycle. (Laughter.) I can't ever imagine that scenario playing out Always. And I think at the core if we follow those principles of inclusive design, inclusive design is all about making sure that you design a product that is embedding the feedback of people and experts. And in our area that's people with disabilities So whenever we're looking, and Office has done incredible job across every single component of Office 365, across every platform, of putting a brand new bar of accessibility out there, and that's anything from PowerPoint to Excel to Sway, right? If you don't Sway, you should Sway. And every single componentry has been designed in collaboration with people So that means you do some prototypes, you get them out there, you get a bunch of people in a room, and you say, hey, but have a play, and scenario-led and all that good stuff But yet it's very hard to replicate the experience of someone who's blind or someone with a visual impairment. The speed at which they are reading the screen, as somebody who's deaf it's very hard for me to comprehend, and it's way faster than we can sign You have to lean into the experiences that you get from people, and you learn the hints and tricks and the keyboard shortcuts are very important. And if you have tried to go off the standardized path, you need to pull it back in a little bit And just the extra words that we tend to put in, or if we put in alt-text, you know, the words that describe images, and we don't put those in accurately, just how destructive that can be to the overall usability of the experience So I think we've learned a lot along the way, and we've definitely learned a lot with eye control, the new feature in Windows, because that came from a hack actually three years ago, the first hack that I ever got involved in, and it was a guy called Steve Gleason from Louisiana who came to us with a list of beautiful ideas that basically were, hey, Microsoft, can you make my experience better? He's an NFL player, a Spokane native, Washington State native, but living in Louisiana with his wife and beautiful kid Rivers. And he was the genesis of a three-year journey through our research division, through Windows division, and many, many more, and many people with ALS here in Seattle that helped us to get eye control into Windows And we're still learning. It's a beater feature, and we're still learning. You can't replicate ALS. It's about hours and hours and hours of sitting with people and understanding how to make sure it's the best experience But yeah, you can now control your mouse with your eyes. You can type with your eyes using a Windows device with a full Creator's Update. So it's pretty kickass JASON HOWARD: That's quite a journey, it seems JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Yeah, I do think it's a journey, and I think we'll continue to reiterate. And that's also why Insiders are so important, right? We need -- we need people to give us that feedback, what is working, what is not, what can we tweak, what can we improve, what's driving you nuts. We're only as good as the feedback that we get JASON HOWARD: I wanted to ask you about how you include people with disabilities in the product development process, but it seems like the Insider programs are a great way to start with that JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: You know, there's multiple, multiple also ways to give feedback. There always are in a company this size with as many products as we have The Insiders I cannot promote enough. I mean, I think it's just a brilliant way to get involved in early stage technology that may be buggy, that may have some funkiness to it, but you have the opportunity to give us feedback knowing that we're listening, and know we're really listening for our customers with disabilities who are using accessible technology. We want that feedback. It's gold dust. And you have the chance to shape the next rev, right, of Windows. There's nothing more powerful than that The same with Office. You know, there's an Office Insiders program. But there's also other ways. If you're not too game to install a potential version of Windows that may disrupt the flow a little bit, then there's User Voice. We have forums there where we're always listening for features. We're voting them up, voting them down And also you can give feedback within Narrator built-in screen reader So there's plenty, plenty ways to make sure your voice is heard JASON HOWARD: And now just kind of as a personal note, being on the Windows Insider team, one of the things that when we originally got started, accessibility wasn't necessarily a blocking gate as part of promoting builds from our internal canary and self-host rings into the fast and slow rings. And part of the feedback that we got was we were making it entirely too difficult to get some of the feedback that was extremely important to get during that development cycle. So especially for the slow ring and more so now into the fast ring accessibility is becoming a blocking gate to help ensure that we don't break that experience for the users who are giving us that type of feedback JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: I love that. I'm so excited that the priority of accessibility within Insiders and within our products broadly generally is at that level where, yeah, if we're not cutting it, we're going to stop ship, right? I mean, it's that important to us. So yeah, I mean, the advice I get, know your power. You have huge power to influence the flow of our product set JASON HOWARD: So along the way obviously there have been many changes of course. Was there anything that you thought would be an easier problem to solve but proved to be a bit more complex than expected originally JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Harder to solve. You know, I think when you're looking at accessibility across as many products as we have, and we have really five product divisions, and each of our product sets is launching multiple, you know, literally hundreds of products every year and every month and every week, you know, my biggest challenge today is just really making sure that we keep the consistency, we keep prioritizing at this level, and we keep innovating Yeah, there are some brilliant features that have come out of now our emphasis on AI in one of our five divisions that's making an impact in Windows. In fact, if you're blind and using a screen reader or Narrator, and it comes up in images, it's leveraging AI describing that image and embedding alt-text in and speaking that as part of your experience So no longer are we reliant on everyone to be able to write really good alt-text, right, the descriptions behind these pictures. We can leverage some of our AI infrastructure. And I'm looking forward to doing that a lot more, that kind of collaboration across the groups, bringing different parts of joy and wisdom from one into the other. And both Office and Windows are doing amazing work there But yes, it's a broad gig, and the bar is very high, because we do believe that this isn't just about meeting a conformance or compliance, this is about leveraging the power of what is possible with the lens of disability JASON HOWARD: So the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update was available through the Insider program months ago. And the public beta has already launched. The actual retail release is occurring right now. And obviously Insiders were able to preview this. Were there any specific features that showed up in this past development cycle that you've seen in action with real users out in the world? JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Eye control we've already mentioned. That's built into Fall Creator's Update. It's an early feature. We're already getting some feedback. We really want more. And, you know, that's one that's just going to grow. You do need a 4C Tobii device in order to leverage the feature. So yeah, there are a couple of things to think through with eye control if you're looking at that I think the other thing with Fall Creators that I really love are the color filters. This is a brand new feature set. But if you think about it, color blindness is huge. Color blindness affects -- it's around 1 in 9 individuals, and mostly men. And there's lots of different types of color blindness. Well, now you can go into your ease of use settings within Windows and you can select one of those filters, and hopefully see Windows in a different way as a result So that's just brilliant innovation, and I've seen some of that out in the wild, and got some really good feedback from folks who are loving it. But I also think that's a brand new one that I want to make sure people know about and are leveraging. I was showing a bunch of people yesterday. And it's amazing how many people, you'll be sitting in a meeting and mention this feature, and I dare you, right, I bet you at least one hand goes up, because it is that prevalent So I really do love the color filters. I think those are really cool The other one just within Windows I have to mention just Narrator. The Windows team has been really incrementally every release tweaking and performance improvements on Narrator. They're also now making sure that magnifier speaks with Narrator as well. And if you are using screen readers, just please go and try it out. I mean, we've really worked on the languages, we've worked on the speed, we've worked on the accuracy and the usability of it. And so it's been incremental. You know, if you're tracking where we're going, this is probably about third or fourth release with improvements to Narrator. But I urge you to give it a go. It's kind of fun JASON HOWARD: So we mentioned eye tracking technology a couple times, and how it enables people who can't type to both communicate and interact with their PCs. But at some point, it could be something that we all use. So how do you see the field of inclusion driving innovation into the future JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: I look at that journey that we started with eye control, you know, going back to Steve and an e-mail, right? It just came from an e-mail, right? That was the genesis of all of our efforts here And then you meet Steve and you fall in love, and you're totally lost, right? You'll do anything for team Gleason But I think where it's at now is tip of the iceberg as to where it could go. I've spent some time really looking into eye control, using your eyes to control a device, and there really is limitless potential there for that And then you look at other areas, right, what we can do and what we are doing with captioning. One of my favorite products is Microsoft Translator. And we've actually now got an add-in in PowerPoint And what it means is that I can be standing on stage or I can be watching somebody else using PowerPoint, and as long as they're mic'd up pretty well, the words of what they're saying will appear on the screen, automatically captioned onto the screen Now, it in no way replaces the need that I had for my beautiful interpreter sitting to your right or for actual captioning which comes from people using stenographers, using those devices you see in court. But it's automatic captions that instantly is available, giving me independence, giving me the ability to make a phone call, right, if you think about it, as we start to weave that technology in So what it means is we have the chance not just to level the playing field, we have the chance to advance the playing field. People with disabilities in the U.S. but also more broadly, the unemployment rate is double that of people without disabilities. And a lot of the reason is this empowerment. We have this opportunity to empower in the workplace, empower at home. We can change an unemployment rate So I get very excited about it, because I look at how technology is impacting my life, and I know there's a long, long way to go. I look at how eye control has the power to impact communication for Steve going down the road again, and how things like Narrator can impact someone who's blind. And we're on a journey, but I do believe that over time technology can make that difference JASON HOWARD: It sounds like you have quite an impressive vision for the future of technology. It's going to be fun to join along that ride and see where we go from here JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Game on, right JASON HOWARD: Absolutely JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Okay JASON HOWARD: So before we break, if you let your imagination run wild, what do you see as the future of technology JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Oh, this is a fun one. So I'm a big Trekkie fan. I mean, I am a big Trekkie. I mean, it's not something I talk a lot about, but my father educated me really well And, I mean, you think about some of the technologies that were there, I mean, they had people with disabilities empowered through tech, right? Geordi La Forge and his visor, I mean, how wicked is that I also think about Xbox and the power of holograms, and while I love my interpreter with every part of my soul before she throws things at me across the room, I mean, wouldn't it be wicked on-demand whenever I needed it to be able to just have a hologram appear and be able to understand a room with my interpreter just sitting right there? And sometimes invisible. Again I love you, but a little bit invisible. I mean, that would be just wicked. No scheduling, no logistics, just poof, up it comes, complete independence and freedom And I would love to see wheelchairs seamlessly going down stairs. There's been a lot of different crazy stuff around that. My goodness, I could keep going. I mean, it's world is our oyster I think with this space JASON HOWARD: So it seems you have quite the vision for the future of technology. Before we wrap up, is there anything specific you'd like to share with the users JENNY LAY-FLURRIE: Yeah. Get involved, get going. Please do check out the website. That's really the single spot where everything is linked. So it's Microsoft.com/accessibility. That's got details on our products, it's got details on conformance. I mean, it's got details on feedback channels. It's really a one-stop shop. It's got our hiring programs on there as well And the one I'd call out really is our support team. We actually have a dedicated support environment for our customers with disabilities. It's called DAD, Disability Answer Desk. I have no MOM, but I do have a DAD on my team. And basically they are experts in accessibility, they're experts in accessible technologies. And so give them a call. You can use chat, you can use phone. And for our deaf customers -- and we'll transcribe this podcast, so I know they'll be looking at it, too -- we also have direct videos so you can contact us in American Sign Language, ASL. And so they can help you with the latest rev of product But I know for our Insiders they're on it, and I just encourage the feedback, and let us know what else you want to see, because this is a journey and we'll only be as good as the feedback we get JASON HOWARD: Absolutely For you non-Trekkies out there, the visor Jenny mentioned earlier is a device worn by the character Geordi La Forge from the series Star Trek the Next Generation. If you're not familiar with this, you can check it out on Bing. Whatever changes may come in tech, it's exciting to know that these efforts will allow more people to participate in school, work, and their personal lives My conversation with Jenny got me wondering, what kind of impact do innovations in Windows 10 have for real people. So I sat down with a Windows Insider who is blind and uses accessibility technologies every day JOSEPH LEE: I'm Joseph Lee, currently a student at Cal State Los Angeles, studying communication studies, formerly studying computer science at UC Riverside, and currently a Windows Insider. And I joined the Windows Insider program. I was one of the first ones to get in on the first day when the very first build came out in October, 2014. And right now as part of my Insider program work I also am a developer of a screen reader, a third party screen reader named NVDA, Nonvisual Desktop Access So my work currently focuses on making sure that Redstone 4 builds are usable by people with visual impairments, specifically with Narrator and NVDA and other screen readers JASON HOWARD: So obviously you're a Windows Insider, and you said you've been participating in the program since the beginning JOSEPH LEE: Yes, since the beginning JASON HOWARD: So just kind of overall how has the experience been of being a Windows Insider? JOSEPH LEE: I'm impressed with progress I've seen, especially with accessibility features and other Windows features that does have accessibility potential such as most recently eye gaze or eye control, and Cortana obviously, progress with Microsoft Edge and seeing how people can how use consoles with Narrator and many other interesting developments in the accessibility space JASON HOWARD: That's awesome So I do want to ask you about some of your personal experiences, if that's okay JOSEPH LEE: Sure JASON HOWARD: You know, you mentioned earlier of studying engineering. I'm assuming that was at UC Riverside, as you had mentioned. What was that experience like? If I understand correctly, you were one of the first blind students to actually be in the engineering program at that college JOSEPH LEE: I was one of the first blind students to take on engineering. And for me it was a challenge, at first, because professors didn't know how to describe calculus graphs to me. I knew the formulas for what the theorems were, but then in terms of graphing and whatnot it was a challenge. For me it was quite an interesting experience going through computer science as a blind student. Initially means communication but then in the end through some negotiations and communication it worked out JASON HOWARD: So it sounds like you made some progress after a little bit of talking here, you know, some -- getting on the same page, it sounds like, to make some accommodations given the change in the environment, at least for that professor, right JOSEPH LEE: Perfectly right. In the early on, right JASON HOWARD: So kind of on a broader scale like just in life as a whole can you describe the experience of having a visual impairment for our listeners JOSEPH LEE: I was initially able to see, because I was low vision early on, because I was able to use magnifying glasses to see and walk around, or even take transportation around. But the overall experience of visual impairment is adjustment and negotiation, adjustment because as often said in many research papers that if you lose one sense, it enhances the others. For many people for visual impairment it's either touch or hearing. In my case I'm blessed with both senses. And the other one is negotiation, trying to live life with something at a loss, but then it opens up a lot of opportunities such as being able to become more sensitive to hearing things such as hearing conversations much better, and being able to use alternative forms of communication, for example, as we'll get into, the screen readers, assistive tools, or sometimes even reading braille So for those who never experienced visual impairment, it's like stepping into another culture. There's always going to be initial shock or loss, but then what makes a huge difference in the lives of people with visual impairment is seeing the potential despite loss of something, through adjustment in whatever they do, and negotiating the path forward JASON HOWARD: You've had plenty of experience using technology. Can you tell me about some of the early experiences previously? Because obviously you said there's been a lot of progress and a lot of change. So some of that older, early experience, can you tell me about using technology previously? JOSEPH LEE: For me the very first taste of technology was when one of my elementary school teachers brought in a printed circuit board, a PCB. And then a few months later, I got introduced to computers through DOS and screen reader. Back then the screen readers would just take whatever is on the console and just print it out. And then this around the time is when I moved to U.S. And then a few years later, I was introduced to what we now call a primitive note-taker device, a video cassette sized hardware with seven keys, six keys for braille dots and a spacebar. And the alternative, because the market for assistive technology is small, back then it retailed for more than a thousand dollars JASON HOWARD: Wow JOSEPH LEE: About 1,500, to be exact JASON HOWARD: Oh my goodness JOSEPH LEE: Being able to use more advanced tools in Microsoft Office or being able to use more complicated websites was just a dream for us. It was just static pages, static web pages, just using the basic features of Office, basic features of Word, and using Outlook as an e-mail client and whatnot That was early days, and that is very, very different world today when we have touchscreens, we have Surface Book 2, we have mixed reality, we have potentials for Cortana collections and whatnot JASON HOWARD: So let me touch back on the Windows Insider program for a moment. So obviously you having been in the program from the beginning, you've seen the change of accessibility features and the focus in Windows on accessibility along the progress as Windows 10 has jumped from build to build and release to release along the way. And being an Insider obviously you have a chance to help influence the design of Windows and the progress of accessibility along the way. Can you tell us about some of the experience you've had in helping guide the future of accessibility within Windows JOSEPH LEE: I joined the Insider program mostly to see how accessibility is going, as mentioned, as well as to see, making sure that people with disabilities will not be left out in making sure that Windows 10 ecosystems are working for them and whatnot For me I think the biggest influence that I had on the program, and the most fruitful experience is dialogue and collaboration. Back then in the early days of Windows Insider program I wrote an open letter to Microsoft addressed to Terry Myerson and other top executives, asking them to invest in accessibility, asking third party universal app developers to invest in listening to feedback on accessibility needs, because they will be potentially speaking and interacting with at least 400 million customers worldwide, and this is just visual impairment. But there are billions of people who have visible and invisible disabilities around the world So that was my first initial focus of the Windows Insider program back then, and I think that has been the most fruitful thing I've seen Obviously appointment of Jenny Lay-Flurrie, on Twitter Jenny Lay-Fluffy, as Chief Accessibility Officer has been a greatest, one of the most significant achievements in terms of disability advocacy at Microsoft And the other thing that I helped influence is making sure that people think about accessibility in giving feedback JASON HOWARD: We've talked a lot about Windows, we've talked about accessibility, we talked about some of your background, but let me ask you an important question about yourself. Like what are some of your goals in life JOSEPH LEE: Since I was a kid, I want to get into teaching. My other life goal has been to serve, not just teach, because I feel that it is much better for people to show that they are willing to serve others than to be served. Because for me serving others meant trying to find out what's going on so they can have a better experience in life or providing technical support. And that's one of the reasons why I joined Insider program was to serve So those are my life goals, to one day stand on a podium and give lectures about computer science, communication studies, and whatever I learn, and serve JASON HOWARD: Are you looking to teach others who have the same sight impairment as you or just broadly in general you want to reach out to anybody that you can have an effect on? JOSEPH LEE: Ah, so mostly general public, because to me it doesn't matter who the audiences are, as long as they get the message. It doesn't have to be people who use screen readers, it doesn't have to be all the blind people alone, all blind people in a group sitting together and using various phones and laptops. It could be people, general public who are really interested in the back behind the scenes story of disability, accessibility work, or anything, that I need to tell the public about what I'm passionate about JASON HOWARD: Well, Joseph, I have to say it's been fantastic chatting with you today. Thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule. I know being a student is chaotic and crazy. There's a lot going on. Your time is a bit limited. But it means a lot to us for you to have taken the time to come and speak with us today. So thank you so very much for that JOSEPH LEE: You're welcome JASON HOWARD: It's been a pleasure As we innovate for accessibility and inclusion, it can lead to benefits for people of all abilities. Take this scenario: sidewalks have a ramp to enable people in wheelchairs to use them, but that ramp is also helpful for people on bikes or with rolling luggage. It's a great example of inclusive design benefitting everyone In addition to changes in the physical world like sidewalk ramps, accessibility features and inclusive design are already changing the way people of all abilities interact with technology. Who knows what the future will bring? It's possible that eye tracking and Narrator will have a broader influence on how we all use Windows If you have questions or feedback about Microsoft's accessibility efforts, I'll include some information to learn more in this episode's description.

Google recently launched a personalized news feed on the company's flagship app, and it will soon rollout to browser versions of google.com. The update is a huge deal for a couple of reasons: First, it will be the most radical change to Google's famously simple home page since 1996, or at least since the its big push behind Google+, which began in 2011 an has since been deemed a failure. It also positions Google to compete directly with the Facebook News Feed, which generally provides the same type of information like sports scores, viral videos, and news. Time is running out for Microsoft Paint. The venerable application that started its life 32 years ago as a monochrome, bitmap Windows 1.0 drawing program is on Microsoft's "Deprecated" list. In an official Microsoft list of "Features that are removed or deprecated in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, first spotted by The Guardian, Microsoft Paint is on the deprecated list. Microsoft defines "deprecated" as "might be removed from future releases." News that Microsoft is moving on from Paint is not surprising. Microsoft demoted the long-time Windows App earlier this year when it released 3D Paint in the Windows 10 Creators Update, which rolled out to users earlier this year.

"Cobra unterstützt das Creators Update", so Thomas Friehoff (Baum). Man stünde aber am Beginn einer neuen Ära, da Microsoft Windows 10 zur endgültigen Version seines Betriebssystems erklärt hat. Zukünftige Service-Updates würden tief unter die Haube gehen, weswegen man die jeweiligen Entwicklerversionen vorab akribisch prüfen müsse, um nicht von neuen Entwicklungen überrascht zu werden. Die Gewährleistung der vollen Zugänglichkeit sei ein Moving Target, so Friehoff.

Ačkoli nás letošní konference Build z velké části minula, protože předváděné novinky byly orientované spíše na vývojářskou obec (a ty další nejsou divácky atraktivní), něco jsme si z konference odnesli. Především nás zaujala nová verze Windows 10, jež vyjde na podzim. Podle dosavadních informací a ukázek pro nás bude podstatně zajímavější než nedávný Creators Update.

Erik and Bob continue with your questions. We discuss the pitfalls of using some “free” streaming media services. Getting the DJI Phantom 3 drone to work with Windows 10, and finding the proper USB drivers for Windows 10. A listener asks which drone is the best model to buy from DGI. Fixing graphics display problems with games after upgrading to Windows 10. We discuss why you should not apply the Windows 10 “Creators Update” manually—at least not yet. Microsoft takes six months to fix a security issue with their Microsoft Office product. Bad Webroot antivirus update temporarily cripples millions of computers. Unroll.me inbox cleanup service hit with lawsuit over privacy of users’ data. A business user dependent on “cloud” services asks about the best backup solution available.

Welcome to episode 48 of the EdTech Situation Room from April 19, 2017, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wes Fryer (@wfryer) discussed the implications of Apple's announcement to make all iLife apps free for both MacOS and iOS, Microsoft's new licensing strategy for Windows 10 and the "Creator's Update," and the potential for Google's AutoDraw website to be used for sketchnoting inside and outside the classroom. Additional topics include a recent study suggesting kids who use touchscreen devices sleep less at night, a New York Times article on a paper suggesting social media is NOT contributing significantly to political polarization, and the X-Prize victory by an underdog family team who created a "tri-corder" to accurately diagnose thirteen different medical conditions. Jason and Wes also discussed two cell phone company related articles, including Verizon's announcement to purchase tons of new fiber and bring 1 Gbps connectivity to homes via 5G wireless technology, and T-Mobile's recent spectrum purchases boosting their LTE network coverage. Geeks of the week included a new Chromebook for Jason (HP Chromebook 13 G1) and upcoming creativity strand presentations for the K-12 Online Conference by Wes. Despite some Fryer home connectivity challenges tonight we made it through the show! Thanks to Peggy, Ben and Simon who joined us live from Arizona, Colorado and Australia! Next week Wes will be "out on assignment" but Jason will carry on with some special guests. Please follow @edtechSR on Twitter to stay up to date about our upcoming show schedule.

Although you might have to buy a new phone if you switch to Google's Project Fi, the benefits could justify the cost. The Windows 10 Creators Update will be pushed out to computers starting on Tuesday. Maybe you'd like to delay the update or get it sooner. You may be able to do either and I'll explain how. In Short Circuits: Hackers say they have credentials for 300 Million ICloud accounts and, while that seems unlikely, it paves the way for other crooks. Intel has completed the spin-off of McAfee after buying the company for more than 7 and a half billion dollars 6 years ago. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Lithium-ion batteries pack more power than their predecessors, but they can burst into flame. Researchers are looking for a better option. Ratings firm Nielsen says it will be using artificial intelligence to give on-line advertisers clearer pictures of internet users. Would you buy your next car from a chatbot? One might be involved in the deal and you might not even notice.
Seit dieser Woche können Anwender das Windows 10 Creators Update herunterladen. Microsoft will mehr Transparenz in puncto Datenschutz schaffen und hat dem Software-Oldie Paint einen neuen Anstrich verpasst. Was sich sonst noch getan hat, erklären wir in c't uplink. Business-Notebooks sind in der Regel robuster und ausdauernder als die normalen Notebooks. Außerdem kann man sie mit Dockingstationen bürotauglich machen und damit den Desktop-Rechner ersetzen. In c't haben wir vier aktuelle Modelle mit Intel Kaby Lake getestet. Heutzutage sollen Smart-Home- und IoT-Geräte vor allem einfach zu installieren und zu bedienen sein. Meist vernachlässigen Hersteller dabei die Sicherheit. So fanden wir beispielsweise Funksteckdosen, die WLAN-Passwörter unverschlüsselt hinausposaunten und einen hackbaren Dildo. Das Schlimme: Viele der Sicherheitslücken bekommt man als Kunde nicht mit, weil manche problematischen Features nicht einmal dokumentiert sind. Mit dabei: Jan Schüßler, Mirko Dölle, Achim Barczok und Florian Müssig Die c't 8/17 gibt's am Kiosk, im heise Shop und digital in der c't-App für iOS und Android.

This week, Avram Piltch discusses the upcoming Windows 10 Creators Update. Microsoft may have just announced the public release date, but Avram has been using it for a while and has some of his favorite features. Unfortunately, most of the things that we were all excited about are missing.

Anybody who wants to edit home videos should take a look at the latest version of CyberLink's Power Director. Internet privacy, already questionable, is on the way to extinction. In Short Circuits: The Windows 10 Creators Update will start being pushed out to computers on April 11th. Alien Skin has released what looks like some powerful enhancements for Exposure X2. Last week I said that I had possibly found a solution to a problem with the mouse. It's still a "maybe". In Spare Parts (only on the website): Don't even think about the crash jokes that could come from Microsoft's licensing of technology to Toyota, chat-bots appear to be the future of customer service, and GoDaddy has acquired a provider of website security services.
Die Zeit der Xbox One ist noch lange nicht vorbei, doch vieles hat sich getan, seit dem Launch im November 2013. In der 37. Folge der Xboxmedia After Hour, dem deutschen Xbox-Podcast, sprechen wir über die Veränderungen, die die Xbox One durchgemacht hat. Ferner sprechen wir über das neue Creators Update, dass nun allen zur Verfügung steht, einer jüngst geleakted Liste, die angeblich alle Spiele der E3 2017 von Microsoft nennt und Destiny 2.
This week, Jon Phillips, Melissa Riofrio and Mark Hachman reveal the coolest features in the new Windows 10 Creators Update; talk about what makes the Samsung Galaxy S8 so appealing; and lament the broken promises of Intel Optane. The gangs ends the show with a debate on whether the Galaxy S8 can help people forget about Samsung's boom-boom battery problems.
Coming soon to a PC near you: Windows 10 Creators Update. But what's less certain is what comes in the years ahead for future PCs and Macs and mobile devices. Are we headed into a voice-activated future?

Im VRODOCAST #30, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality, geht es diesmal um Social VR mit Facebook und dem Second-Life-Nachfolger Project Sansar. Außerdem sprechen wir über Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Strategie. Facebook 360 Vor wenigen Tagen veröffentlichte Facebook die erste VR-App unter eigenem Namen. Bei "Facebook 360" kann man ausgewählte 360-Grad-Videos und -Fotos von professionellen Produzenten ansehen oder durch die 360-Inhalte der Freunde scrollen - sofern vorhanden. Ebenfalls integriert sind soziale Funktionen wie Reaktionen via Emoticons und die Möglichkeit, anderen Accounts zu folgen. Die App lässt sich mit dem eigenen Facebook-Account synchronisieren. Zwar ist "Facebook 360" im aktuellen Zustand noch keine sonderlich aufregende Anwendung mit großem Mehrwert. Aber Facebook könnte den Social-Videoplayer als Basis nehmen, um kontinuierlich neue Social-VR-Funktionen hinzuzufügen. Wir überlegen, welche Features sinnvoll sein könnten. Mehr: https://vrodo.de/gear-vr-facebook-veroeffentlicht-erste-virtual-reality-app-facebook-360/ Project Sansar ab Minute Um Social-VR geht es auch im zweiten Thema: Project Sansar, der VR-Nachfolger zu Second Life, startet im Frühjahr in die offene Beta. Die Entwickler von Linden Lab versprechen eine vielschichtige und komplexe Welt, die von ihren Nutzern erschafft und monetarisiert wird. Hat die App das Potenzial, einen ähnlichen Hype auszulösen wie seinerzeit Second Life? Und sind gerenderte 3D-Welten, in denen man sich als Avatar bewegt, tatsächlich die Zukunft für Social-VR - oder bleiben sie eine Nischenanwendung für Nerds? Mehr: https://vrodo.de/der-nachfolger-von-second-life-oeffnet-diesen-fruehling-sein-tore/ Windows Mixed Reality ab Minute Aus Windows Holographic macht Microsoft kurz vor dem Launch Windows Mixed Reality. Die Umbenennung ergibt Sinn, denn der neue Name beschreibt deutlich konkreter, was Microsoft plant, nämlich ein Betriebssystem für eine neue Generation räumlicher Computer zu schreiben. Das im April erscheinende "Creators Update" verdeutlicht den Mehrwert des VR-OS noch nicht, scheint stattdessen auf Rückwärtskompatibilität zu setzen. In bisherigen Demonstrationen sind die VR-Nutzer zwar in einer immersiven 360-Grad-Umgebung, bedienen dort aber nur herkömmliche 2D-Anwendungen, wie man sie aus Windows kennt. Hinzu kommt, dass hochwertige und kommerziell verfügbare VR- und AR-Endgeräte wie die kommende Acer-Brille für Windows oder Hololens noch Monate oder gar Jahre bis zur Marktreife benötigen. Wir diskutieren Pro & Contra von Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Strategie.

What is your deepest darkest secret? Listen in as we open the doors to the VIP room with one of your favourite host Joel Ramos, as he opens up to his fellow hosts Jessica Rickards and newcomer Gabriel Vega, CEO of Commtech. VizLens helps the blind operate appliances with digital screens and unlabeled buttons Think about the number of electronic appliances you encounter on a daily basis – using a microwave, adjusting the thermostat in your home, or buying a snack from the office vending machine. Now, imagine trying to operate any of these if you were blind. Impossible? Anhong Guo, Ph.D. student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII), is turning this into a reality with the development of an interactive screen reader called VizLens. Windows 10 build 15025 brings braille support for Narrator Microsoft is excited to announce braille support for Narrator. This experience is currently in beta. So try it out and give feedback! In order to use braille with Narrator, you will need to do the following: • Ensure Narrator is running. Then go to Settings > Ease of Access (WIN + U) and under the Narrator settings, activate the “Download Braille” button. You will be prompted to install braille support. • Under Settings > Ease of Access, activate the “Enable braille” button and add a braille display. Note that USB and serial connections for the display are supported. • Under Settings > Ease of Access, choose the language and braille table you want to use. Note detailed documentation about braille display key mappings will be made available in the Narrator User Guide closer to when the Windows 10 Creators Update is released. NOTE: There are coexistence issues with braille support and third party screen readers. Until the documentation is available, we recommend that braille be enabled for Narrator only on PCs that do not also have a third-party screen reader configured to use a braille display. New mono audio option in Ease of Access settings Visually impaired users use a screen reader application to read the PC screen content and information to them, and frequently use headphones or earbuds to hear the computer when in meetings or having conversations with others. When doing so, they generally use only one earbud to hear the PC in one ear so the other ear is free to hear conversations and sounds around them. That can cause them to not hear sounds that may be directed to the other earbud. In order to change the sound to be mono mode and so all audio is directed to both ears, they used to need a physical earphone adapter. You can now switch your audio to mono straight from the new Audio section under Settings > Ease of Access > Other options. A new startup, Innovision, has recognized to problem that exists for those who are blind Although voice feedback is convenient, and it opens many opportunities, it doesn’t promote literacy. Blind people need access to braille material, and current pricing on braille displays keeps most people from being able to access the printed word, especially in developing countries. Innovision has created the BrailleMe, which is a simple braille display that plugs directly into your phone or computer. It also has Bluetooth capabilities. Cool Picks: MediGuard provides you with easy to understand health information, safety alerts & recalls and drug interactions. Office Lens is like having a scanner in your pocket. Like magic, it will digitize notes on whiteboards or blackboards. Always find important documents or business cards. Sketch your ideas and snap a picture for later. Don't lose receipts or stray sticky notes again! BBE 882i Sonic Maximizer

Diesmal werfen wir einen Rückblick auf das Microsoft Windows 10 Event, auf dem Microsoft einen Ausblick auf das Windows 10 Creators Update gegeben und ordentlich Hardware vorgestellt hat. Für die Hardwarethemen haben wir uns mit Patrick Bellmer einen renommierten Hardware-Experten eingeladen. Patrick beschäftigt sich bei Hardwareluxx.de mit sämtlicher mobiler Hardware. Egal ob Notebook, Smartphone oder Wearable, Patrick kennt jedes aktuelle Produkt. Wir diskutieren mit ihm gemeinsam über das aktualisierte Microsoft Surface Book und das neue Microsoft Surface Studio. Aber auch das neue MacBook Pro von Apple kommt in dieser Sendung nicht zu kurz. Shownotes: https://geeksprech.de/geeksprech-podcast-folge-03-microsoft-oktober-event-und-neue-hardware
This week's episode is all about Microsoft and Apple's two big events this week. We first talk through Microsoft's announcements, including the Windows 10 Creators Update, various creativity software, Microsoft's first VR play, and more. Then we discuss Apple's big announcements including the new TV app for Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad, and the new MacBook Pros. For the last part of the episode, we compare the announcements and discuss the broader significance of what each company is doing, and how they will compete going forward. Next week, we'll likely do an earnings-focused episode. As usual, you’ll find some links to related content as well as other ways to listen to the podcast on the website at podcast.beyonddevic.es.
In der elften Ausgabe des VRODO_Cast, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality, sprechen wir in der Hauptsache über Microsoft und die Ankündigung von fünf neuen VR-Brillen für Windows Holographic. Das hat selbst der größte VR-Enthusiast nicht vorhergesehen: Asus, Dell, Lenovo, HP und Acer bringen kommendes Jahr VR-Brillen samt Inside-Out-Tracking für Windows Holographic auf den Markt. Konkret bedeutet das: Microsoft macht aus der VR-Brille einen Monitor und springt auf den fahrenden Zug auf, den vornehmlich Facebook, Google und Valve vorab finanziert und in Gang gesetzt haben. Wir diskutieren die Tragweite dieser Ankündigung. Technische Spezifikationen zu den Windows-Brillen sind ebenso wenig bekannt wie ein exaktes Veröffentlichungsdatum. Das Windows 10 “Creators Update” samt Holographic Shell mit Unterstützung für VR- und AR-Geräte erscheint im Frühling kostenlos für alle Windows-10-Nutzer. Was die Ankündigung auch zeigt: Virtual und Augmented Reality nähern sich deutlich früher einander an, als vermutet. Dieser Trend geht auch an Facebook und Oculus VR nicht vorbei. Die Unternehmen suchen neue Mitarbeiter, um AR-Prototypen zu bauen, die potenziell "von Milliarden von Menschen" genutzt werden könnten. Das ist natürlich eine Ansage, die wir besprechen müssen. Baut Oculus an der Oculens? Und wie antwortet Google auf den verschärften Wettbewerb? Die Gerüchte um eine Highend-Brille halten sich hartnäckig. Klar ist, dass Googles Daydream ganz sicher nicht das Ende der Bemühungen im Bereich immersive Medien ist. Zum Abschluss sprechen wir noch kurz über unser Lieblingsthema - mittlerweile ein "Running Gag" - die künstliche Fortbewegung in VR, speziell in Spielen und die damit verbundene Motion Sickness. Ein Gamer hatte sich via Twitter bei Oculus VR darüber beschwert, dass er gerne mehr Optionen für die Fortbewegung möchte, da ihm nicht schlecht werde. Die Antwort von Oculus: Wir machen Entwicklern keine Vorschriften, aber die gehen lieber auf Nummer sicher und optimieren für Komfort. Wir besprechen, ob das legitim ist und welche Alternativen es gibt. Und welche Konsequenzen es für Entwickler hat, wenn sie potenziell tausende Käufer krank machen.
