| | | Microsoft Fluid Framework Is Coming After Google Docs | | Tom's Hardware | Microsoft yesterday announced Fluid Framework, its platform for collaborating and sharing that will integrate with Microsoft 365 and, according to Microsoft, “break down the barriers of the traditional document as we know it.” Rather than a document, the company describes it as more of a canvas with co-authoring abilities. It doesn’t have to be just a Word document, spreadsheet, or a presentation. Instead, it can be a mish-mash of them all. And perhaps in a knock at current leader Google and its Docs, Fluid Framework will allow for co-authoring with multiple users “at speeds not yet achieved in the industry.” | | Microsoft Surrenders in Its Windows Update War With Users | | Computerworld | Now, with the upcoming Windows 10 May 2019 update, Microsoft has cried uncle. Late in the update’s testing phase, the company announced that it is going to give people control over whether to install feature updates. | | Microsoft Escalates Its Cloud Battle With Amazon After a Slew of New Azure Announcements | | CNBC | Microsoft used the start of its Build developer conference in Seattle as an opportunity to unleash a slew of updates to its lineup of cloud services.

Generally, yes. If they use just public clouds such as IBM Cloud or Amazon Web Services, they may have controls for that particular environment. More enlightened organizations might have policy-based controls. But policy-based controls that are unified across multicloud infrastructures? That is unique—and it makes for a truly trustworthy stack," writes John De Santis. (If you want policy-based control across your SaaS apps, come check out BetterCloud.) |
