Microsoft reorganized its Windows + Devices team last month, placing Surface chief Panos Panay in charge of both Windows and hardware. While its still early days for Panay, were starting to get an idea of how things might change with Windows. That starts with a new Windows Insider leader, Microsofts beta program that sees millions of people testing Windows 10.

In my first 30 days as the Windows leader, as Ive been spending time listening, learning, and working with the team to build a vision for the next era of Windows, Ive been in awe of the Insiders group and the level of dedication and depth of knowledge they have, explains Panay in a new blog post today. To keep this momentum going and continue to grow and innovate in Windows, its clear we need the right person to lead this powerful community into the next era, which is why Im excited to announce Amanda Langowski as the new lead for the Windows Insider Program.

Langowski is a Microsoft and Windows veteran, having worked at the company for more than 20 years. Langowski previously worked on Windows beta programs, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, and the all-important flighting team that makes sure builds of Windows are available for engineers inside and outside of Microsoft.

Langowski will now take over as the face of Windows 10 testing and lead an important feedback loop, a role that Dona Sarkar previously led for the past few years. Sarkar has taken a new role in the Microsoft Developer Relations team and remains at the company, while the previous Insider chief, Gabe Aul, left Microsoft last year for a virtual and augmented reality engineering role at Facebook.

As Panay says, Microsoft is now getting ready to build a vision for where Windows goes next. The software maker has tried a variety of ways to entice creators to Windows over the past five years, but it has walked back some of those changes. The pace of Windows 10 updates has certainly slowed over the past 12 months, leaving testers and Windows fans wondering whats coming next.

Microsoft is obviously focused on Windows 10X for dual-screen devices right now, but there will be plenty of changes coming to the desktop version, too. Panay hasnt finalized his vision for the direction of Windows, but you can expect to see a renewed focus on the OS at Microsoft. That will no doubt include some of the pumped energy Panay is famous for, but also a focus on simplifying the operating system and cleaning up some areas that havent been looked at for quite some time.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadellas bold goal was we want to move from people needing Windows to choosing Windows, to loving Windows, five years ago. Its fair to say Windows 10 has certainly improved over the past five years, but a fresh vision for where it needs to go and a face for Windows is very much needed.

I expect, and certainly hope, to see a bigger focus on Microsoft adapting the OS to the people who truly use it every day and rely on Windows. Thats not to say there wont be some big new features that the company will develop, but PowerToys for Windows 10 and the Windows Terminal have been some great additions.

Were starting to see some of the simplifications for Windows show up, with new icons and even some tweaks to the Start menu. Panay celebrated a billion Windows 10 users with a teaser video last week, and its clear the Windows team is looking at cleaning up parts of the UI. Microsoft is ready to listen again, with new leadership involved at the top of Windows and how the company receives feedback. Were now waiting to hear exactly what the next era of Windows will bring. Some of those answers might not be too far away.

Microsoft gets ready for a new era of Windows - The Verge

HP is teasing a followup to its Reverb virtual reality headset made in collaboration with Microsoft and Valve. The announcement coincides with Valves release of Half-Life: Alyx, the years most anticipated VR game. Theres little detail, but HPs website calls its new headset a more immersive, comfortable, and compatible experience than the Reverb, and an email from the company calls it a no-compromise VR headset.

The $599 Reverb was part of Microsofts Windows Mixed Reality lineup, known for its high-resolution screen. HPs reference to a new standard in VR suggests its not competing with the cheapest VR devices, like the $399 Oculus Rift S. But it might not cost as much as Valves $999 Index, either. Theres no release date, though, so we dont know if it will mitigate the current headset shortage or if it might be delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has slowed production of existing Valve and Oculus products.

Valves SteamVR platform already supports Windows Mixed Reality headsets alongside other products from Oculus and HTC. And the headset looks similar to the old Reverb, with two black spots that imply the use of Windows Mixed Reality tracking cameras, rather than SteamVR-style external tracking beacons. So were not sure what this specific Microsoft / Valve / HP collaboration entails.

I will note, however, that Windows Mixed Reality has a convenient tracking system and mediocre controllers, while the Valve Index has an inconvenient tracking system and the best controllers in VR. Valves current controllers cant work with HPs tracking system. But their most distinctive features use internal sensors, not SteamVR beacons and expanding those beyond the Index would be good for everyone involved.

HP is teasing a new VR headset in partnership with Valve and Microsoft - The Verge

Less than a week after the White Houses Office of Science and Technology organized a consortium to focus the power of artificial intelligence on addressing the coronavirus outbreak, another tech team is joining the fight this time, armed with supercomputers and the cloud.

The COVID-19 High-Performance Computing Consortium includes the Seattle areas powerhouses of cloud computing, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, as well as IBM and Google Cloud.

There are also academic partners (MIT and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute), federal agency partners (NASA and the National Science Foundation) and five Department of Energy labs (Argonne, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge and Sandia).

Among the resources being brought to bear is the worlds most powerful supercomputer, the Oak Ridge Summit, which packs a 200-petaflop punch.

America is coming together to fight COVID-19, and that means unleashing the full capacity of our world-class supercomputers to rapidly advance scientific research for treatments and a vaccine, Michael Kratsios, the White Houses chief technology officer, said in a news release.

The research projects supported by the consortium are expected to range from studies of the SARS-CoV-2 virus molecular makeup, to the bioinformatics behind the workings of the virus, to the epidemiology behind COVID-19s spread and the strategies for stopping it. The common thread is the need for high-performance computing resources to get a handle on the complex challenges of such studies.

Microsoft will be providing grants to researchers through its AI for Health program, to ensure additional access to Azure Cloud and the companys high-performance computing capabilities. AI for Healths data science experts will also make themselves available to collaborate on COVID-19 research projects.

We want to make sure researchers working to combat COVID-19 have access to the tools they need, said John Kahan, Microsoft Global AI for Health lead.

Amazon Web Services is offering research institutions and companies technical support and promotional credits for the use of AWS services to advance research on diagnosis, treatment and vaccine studies relating to the coronavirus and its effects.

Were proud to support this critical work and stand ready with the compute power of AWS to help accelerate research and development efforts, Teresa Carlson, vice president for AWS Worldwide Public Sector, said in a statement.

Similar access to high-performance computing resources is being made available to researchers via Google Cloud HPC, the IBM Research WSC Cluster, NASAs High-End Computing Capability, Rensselaers AIMOS supercomputer system, the MIT/Massachusetts Green HPC Center, NSFs Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (which can provide access to Frontera, the fastest supercomputer deployed on a U.S. academic campus) and the five national labs.

To take advantage of those resources, researchers should submit a simple project proposal via consortiums website. A steering committee will review proposals for potential impact, feasibility, resource requirements and timeline.

Each proposal thats selected will be matched up with computing resources from one of the consortiums members. That member will then get in contact with the research team to discuss the process for obtaining access to the resources.

Researchers making their proposals should expect to produce a regularly updated blog of their activities during the course of their work, and have publishable results come out of their efforts.

Microsoft is also part of the team behind the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset, or CORD-19, which is offering an AI-enabled database to provide faster, surer, wider-ranging access to coronavirus research.

If youre having trouble concentrating on your work during self-quarantine, a set of quality noise-canceling headphones might be a good solution. Youll likely get a lot of use out of them in the coming weeks (possibly months) at home. Best Buy is offering a $150 discount on Microsofts Surface Headphones, which are over-ear, noise-canceling wireless headphones. These usually cost $350, but now theyre $200.

This model stacks up well compared to Sonys popular WH-1000XM3, even going beyond them with their ability to simultaneously pair to two Bluetooth devices. More expensive headphones have this feature, like the $400 Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, but its nice to have it with this discounted set.

Best Buy is also offering a nice discount on the Beats Studio 3 noise-canceling headphones, which usually cost $349. The sale price is $200, and if youre picking between these and the Surface Headphones above, these are easier to pair with Apple products, like the Apple Watch, iPad, iPhone, and MacBook Pro, thanks to their W1 wireless chip.

Its understandable if $200 to spend on headphones isnt in the budget right now. Ankers Soundcore Life 2 over-ear, noise-canceling wireless headphones are just $40 at Newegg (via Skimlinks). These offer 30-hour battery life, optional wired mode with the included 3.5mm headphone cable, and they can easily fold up in their included hard case. Use the offer code ANKR25 to save.

Borderlands 3 is down to just $20 for the Xbox One and PS4 at Amazon. This game regularly costs $60, and at this price, youll get the physical version. If youd rather have the digital code for Xbox One, it costs $30. This game could suit you well if you want an open-world FPS that lets you team up with friends to face off against waves of enemies and collect loot.

If you recently got a Nintendo Switch to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons and now find yourself amassing more games than the consoles 32GB of onboard storage can handle, pick up a micro SD card. SanDisks 400GB model is down to $52.99, which is less than the cost of a new game. With a storage card this big, you probably wont have to think about upgrading it ever again at least, not for a while. This isnt a huge deal, but it always pays to have storage when you need it. And around this time last year, these cost about $30 more.

The Kindle Paperwhite is back on sale for $95 (usually $130). Amazon had this sale just a few weeks ago, but its here again in case you missed out the last time. This isnt the most affordable e-reader you can buy, but its one of the best, thanks to its waterproofing and great backlit display.

T-Mobile is gifting its customers with two months of complimentary YouTube Premium service as a thanks for staying inside during the novel coronavirus pandemic. This service eliminates advertisements, enables background play, and allows you to download videos to your phone. T-Mobile customers using Android can access the offer starting tomorrow in the T-Mobile Tuesdays app, and iOS users can find it on t-mobiletuesdays.com. The fine print states that you have to redeem this offer by May 1st, and if you forget to unsubscribe, youll be charged once your two months of service are up.

Noise-canceling headphones from Microsoft, Beats and Anker are cheaper today - The Verge

Apple has spent the past 10 years trying to convince everyone that the iPad and its vision of touch-friendly computing is the future. The iPad rejected the idea of a keyboard, a trackpad, or even a stylus, and Apple mocked Microsoft for taking that exact approach with the Surface. Our competition is different, theyre confused, said Apple CEO Tim Cook as he stood onstage to introduce the new Macs and iPads six years ago. They chased after netbooks, now theyre trying to make PCs into tablets and tablets into PCs. Who knows what they will do next?

Every iPad has transformed into a Surface in recent years, and as of this week, the iPad Pro and Surface Pro look even more alike. Both have detachable keyboards, adjustable stands, trackpads, and styluses. With iPadOS getting cursor and mouse support this week, Apple has finally admitted that Microsoft was right about tablets. Let me explain why.

Microsofts return to tablets was a rough ride and far from perfect. Bill Gates tried to convince the world that tablets would be a thing all the way back in 2002, but the hardware and software were far too primitive back then. The software maker eventually introduced the Surface RT alongside Windows 8 in 2012 as a clear response to the iPad, but it had an ARM-powered desktop operating system that didnt support your favorite apps. It was slightly confused, but Microsofts tablet principles were clear at the time.

Something is different about tablets, people still do desire a physical keyboard, wrote former Windows chief Steven Sinofsky in a detailed blog post about Windows 8 back in 2012. Even in the absence of software like Microsoft Office, the reality is that when you need to write more than a few quick lines of text, you yearn for something better than on-screen typing ... People benefit from the highly accurate, reliable, and fast user input enabled by a physical keyboard, and we think an OS and its apps should not compromise when one is available.

The message was clear: touch-based computing would be a first-class input for Windows 8 but not the only way to use the operating system. Microsoft insisted you needed a mouse for precision, a keyboard for typing, and a stylus for taking notes or drawing. These basic foundations led to the Surface Pro, with its variety of inputs to suit different needs.

Microsoft also mastered the ability to use a tablet at a desk or on a couch, thanks to its Surface kickstand and hinge designs. It was a key differentiator against devices like the iPad, and Microsoft and Intel now license out the design for other PC makers to use. It didnt take long for everyone to start copying Microsofts Surface design.

Even Apple moved quickly to respond to the Surface, a year after Microsoft released a stunning new design with the Surface Pro 3. Apples first iPad Pro debuted in 2015 with support for the Apple Pencil stylus and a smart keyboard. It arrived just as iPad sales had declined to the point where Apple was making more money on Macs instead. The iPad Pro keyboard magnetically attached to the iPad Pro, just like the Surface Pro, but Apple claimed it was unlike any keyboard youve ever used before.

It marked a big shift for the iPad, and every big iPad now supports a keyboard and stylus. Despite the hardware additions, Apple persisted with its touch-first vision for the iPad. Using a keyboard with the iPad was an ergonomic disaster. Youd have to lift your hands away from the keyboard to touch the screen and adjust text or simply navigate around the OS. It didnt feel natural, and the large touch targets meant there was no precision for more desktop-like apps. Alongside Apples refusal to bring touchscreen support to the Mac, it was clear something had to change.

The first signs of a new direction for the iPad arrived with iPadOS and the hints at cursor support last year. Apple is now introducing trackpad and mouse support fully in iPadOS, and you can use an existing Bluetooth device. Unlike pointer support youd find in Windows or macOS, Apple has taken a clever approach to bringing it to a touch-friendly OS like iPadOS. The pointer only appears when you need it, and its a circular dot that can change its shape based on what youre pointing at. That means you can use it for precision tasks like spreadsheets or simply use multitouch gestures on a trackpad to navigate around iPadOS.

Its far more than most people were expecting at this stage, and Apple has importantly kept its touch-friendly iPad principles intact. Right now, you still cant use this mouse support to drag and drop windows on top of each other freely like you might on Windows or macOS. Nor is it there to do everything youd typically do with a mouse on a desktop operating system. Apple has adapted a legacy input and modernized it for iPadOS.

This careful and considered approach explains why it took Apple so long to bring cursor support to iPadOS. Tim Cook has previously discussed product trade-offs and the idea of converging PCs and tablets. Anything can be forced to converge, but the problem is that products are about tradeoffs, and you begin to make tradeoffs to the point where what you have left doesnt please anyone, Cook said on an earnings call nearly eight years ago. He famously added: You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not gonna be pleasing to the user.

Cook was also adamant that Apple wouldnt converge the MacBook Air and an iPad. The compromise of convergence were not going to that party, he said. Cook has stayed true to that vision. Apple hasnt converged macOS and iPadOS to bring trackpad and mouse support to the iPad. Instead, the message for the iPad now is that it can adapt to be more like a laptop or remain just like a tablet.

That message sounds similar to Microsofts Surface Pro, but whats now at play is a battle of ecosystems, apps, and operating systems. Microsoft has persisted with Windows and walked back many of its touch-friendly tablet changes. The software maker is even diverging Windows further into a Windows 10X operating system for dual-screen devices this year.

Meanwhile, Apple is hoping that iPadOS could be enough for people who want some laptop familiarity. With the essential trackpad support and improvements to the Safari web browser, the iPad is starting to look like a much more viable option for both a tablet and a laptop for many. Thats a big change from just a few years ago.

Now that Apple and Microsoft are aligned on what a tablet can offer in terms of hardware, the battle between PC and iPad will shift toward what both do in software. Apple has shown that its willing to adapt, and well likely see a lot more desktop-like apps for the iPad as a result. Mouse support for the iPad is a significant game-changer, and the iPad has now moved well beyond a third category of device for browsing, email, photos, video, music, games, and ebooks.

That will unnerve Microsoft and its PC partners, but it doesnt mean its an immediate death sentence for the PC just yet. Just as it has taken Apple 10 years to get to this point on the hardware and software sides, there will be many years ahead of experimentation from app developers to adjust to mouse support in iPadOS. Windows and macOS wont stand still, either, and theyre still far more powerful for multitasking and running complicated desktop apps.

Apple has painted a line in the sand here, though. The iPad is changing rapidly, even if Apples new iPad tagline is your next computer is not a computer. The next 10 years will truly define exactly what kind of computer Apple wants the iPad to be.

How to add a guest user to Microsoft Teams

To add a guest user to Microsoft Teams:

Microsoft Teams is a great way to keep members of your organisation connected, especially when working remotely. Sometimes, you may need to work with people outside your organisation, such as external contractors, clients or suppliers. Using Teams guest capabilities, you can add these users in a secure way which restricts their access to your data.

Adding guests is straightforward. Find the team the guest should be added to in the Teams sidebar. Click the button to the right of the teams name and select Add member.

Type the email address of the person who youd like to add. Once youve completed the email address, youll be prompted to add a name for the guest. Then, click the Add button to complete the process. (If you get a We cant find any matches message, guest access is disabled for your Office 365 account youll need to talk to an administrator first).

Your guest will receive an email inviting them to join the team. Once theyve accepted, theyll show up like any other member.

Guest permissions are limited to help protect your organisations data. Guests can send messages to the team like any other user. They can also share files and create private chats.

Access to most other features is restricted, so guests cant schedule meetings, change Teams settings, create new teams or manage apps. You can get the full list of whats permitted over on Microsofts support site.

Some options are customisable and can be controlled on a per-team basis. Click the Manage team link from a teams options menu and navigate to the Settings tab. In the Guest permissions section, toggle the checkboxes to enable guest access to certain features, such as channel creation and deletion.

Guests are always clearly labelled within the Teams interface to help avoid confusion. Any external user will have their name suffixed with the word Guest. You can view a complete list of guests and remove them from the team by clicking Manage team from a teams option menu and reviewing the list of members which is displayed.

Finally, you dont have to create guest accounts for users who need one-time access to a specific Teams meeting. You can follow our dedicated guide to managing guest access to voice and video calls when persistent access isnt required.

How to add a guest user to Microsoft Teams - OnMSFT

Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Twitch is still the largest video game streaming platform in the world, but Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Mixer is quickly gaining ground, according to Streamlabs and Newzoo's fourth-quarter numbers.

Total hours watched on Mixer rose 33% annually to 82.5 million, while total hours streamed surged 269% to 28.4 million. Its number of unique channels grew 136% to 3.6 million, as its average number of concurrent viewers rose 34% to 37,584.

During the same period, Twitch's total hours watched dipped 1% to 2.3 billion as its total hours streamed fell 4% to 82.7 million. Its number of unique channels fell 22% to 3.7 million, as its average number of concurrent viewers dipped 1% to 1.05 million.

Twitch's decline also coincides with the growth of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) Gaming and Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) YouTube Gaming Live. However, Mixer -- which declared war on Twitch by poaching its top streamer, Ninja, last year -- is arguably the biggest direct threat to Amazon's game streaming platform.

At first glance, Mixer doesn't seem like a major threat to Twitch or YouTube Gaming Live. Mixer controlled just 2.7% of the market in terms of hours watched in 2019, compared to Twitch's 75.1% share and YouTube's 22.1% share.

Image source: Getty Images.

However, Microsoft has three distinct strengths. First, it's willing to throw millions of dollars at top streamers like Tyler "Ninja" Blevins andMichael "Shroud" Grzesiek,who both left Twitch for Mixer over the past year. Mixer's contract with Ninja is reportedly worth up to $50 million.

Second, Microsoft owns Windows 10 and the Xbox One. Microsoft streamlines the process forstreaming video games from those platforms with a Microsoft account -- which is arguably a less cumbersome process than streaming on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.

Microsoft's upcoming cloud gaming platform, xCloud, will also likely stream content to Mixer. Google's Stadia still doesn't stream games toYouTube yet, and Facebook only took a few baby steps into the cloud gaming market with its takeover of PlayGiga last year.

Lastly, Mixer only focuses on video game streams, while Facebook and YouTube provide a wider range of streaming video content. All three platforms threaten Twitch's growth to some degree, but Mixer's focus, deep pockets, and sticky gaming ecosystem could pull streamers and viewers away from Amazon.

Mixer and Twitch both generate revenue by selling channel subscriptions and letting users tip viewers by buying virtual "embers" and "bits", respectively.

Neither company discloses how much revenue the platforms generate, but SuperData estimates that Twitch generated $1.5 billion ingaming video content (GCV) revenue in 2019 -- which equals just 0.5% of Amazon's total revenue. However, Twitch is also part of Amazon's broader push into video games with first-party games like New World, as well as part of the streaming video ecosystem thatlocks users into its Prime subscriptions.

Mixer likely only accounts for a sliver of Microsoft's total gaming revenue, which accounted for8% of its top line in the first half of fiscal 2020. However, Mixer should still be considered an essential part of Microsoft's broader gaming ecosystem -- which includes Xbox Live, Xbox Game Pass, xCloud, and the Microsoft Store on PCs. Connecting all those dots would expand Microsoft's gaming presence beyond Xbox gaming consoles.

Mixer and Twitch aren't crucial growth engines for Microsoft and Amazon, but they're long-term ecosystem plays that could shape their futures in the gaming market. Amazon should keep a close eye on Mixer's growth and its aggressive poaching strategies. If it grows complacent with Twitch, it could lose more viewers to Mixer, Facebook, and YouTube -- which are all eager to claim the gaming crown.
