Former CEO: Microsoft Should Separate Windows and Office

A former Microsoft executive who was quite prominent in the 1990s had a crazy idea for the company, which was to suggest that Windows and Office be made into separate services. Of course, that would never happen, and it was an outlandish idea for the time.
But if you look at the current conditions, the idea is actually quite interesting, considering that Microsoft is currently focusing on cloud services and doesn’t have much time for Windows to be as good as it can be.
“The right thing to do now is probably looking to the future of cloud services,” said former Microsoft executive Ben Slivka during an interview some time ago.
According to him, Microsoft should separate their Windows and Office services to drive the growth of the cloud computing business.
For information, Slivka is the person who led the development of Microsoft Internet Explorer through the release of version 3.0, and he also had time to write an internal memo that the Web is the next big platform.
The memo he wrote on December 12, 1995, in which he argued that the web would evolve into a full-featured computing platform that would one day surpass Windows. Slivka also stands out for her e-mail messages about Microsoft’s antitrust issues of the era.
Suggesting a separation of Windows and Office is a provocative idea and is seen as mere hype. And it will never happen for a number of reasons. The first is that both services have generated huge profits and revenues of billions of dollars each quarter, and the fate of Office today is closely tied to Microsoft’s cloud service development efforts.
But it’s also worth highlighting that Microsoft’s success with their services and other businesses has a lot to do with their old habits of continuing to support the legacy technology they rely on. Leaving Windows would send a contradictory message to companies now transitioning to cloud-based solutions, and there are still synergies between Microsoft’s legacy business and technology and cloud solutions.
Still, for those who continue to doubt Microsoft’s fidelity to Windows and its ability to keep the product modern and relevant, the idea of a split is an interesting one.
Of course, Microsoft will be devoted to Windows will be able to provide better services than companies that focus on cloud services. Windows is in many ways the only major Microsoft business that doesn’t really align with their cloud services focus.

Again, Here’s Leaked One Outlook, Email Client For Windows 11

As previously reported, Microsoft is developing a new Mail Client that aims to replace all existing Mail Clients, including Outlook Web, Outlook from Microsoft Office, and Mail & Calendar that comes preinstalled with Windows 10.
Now, after we could see leaks about this application, recently Windows Central shared more pictures about the application called One Outlook, and here are additional pictures.
Exactly as in the picture you can see above, this One Outlook application certainly has support for Dark Mode as well, apart from that the overall appearance of the application is similar to the Outlook for a Web application.
Although it looks similar to Outlook for Web, it is not a UWP or PWA application, as according to @jessejarvi ‘s explanation, the application is a Win32 application and not a UWP application.
“It’s a separate, standalone Win32 app. RIP UWP. It will replace the people/contacts/mail app tho. And maybe even the Office suite Outlook.” Ungkap @jessejarvi.
And of course, because it’s not a UWP application, we can access it without having to have internet, that’s what Microsoft has to say about native features such as offline stores that are present in this application.
You Can Try It Now!
If you are interested, you can try using this application right now, you just need to download the installer on the following Microsoft page, then install the application as usual.
I will post an article about the first impression after I try this application, so stay tuned on Windows Portal Indonesia.

Microsoft Releases Update KB5013283 For Windows 11 Insider Dev Channel Users

Today Microsoft released update KB5013283 for Windows 11 Insider Dev Channel users; this update will bring the OS Build to 22581,100, and although it is not a big update, there is one thing that is quite interesting present in this update.
As we already know, yesterday at Build 22579, Microsoft removed the Tabs feature in File Explorer, so for insider users who updated their system to Build 22579, they won’t be able to activate this feature even with ViveTool.
And with the presence of this KB5013283 update, it seems that Microsoft is bringing this feature back for users to activate using ViveTool again.
Well, even so, unfortunately, because once again this is an Insider Dev Channel, maybe this feature will be removed later because, based on rumors circulating, the Tabs feature in File Explorer is planned to be present in Windows 11 Sun Valley 3 or 23H2 later.
However, based on the news of several users, this update is also presented for Insider Beta Channel users so that you can re-enable the Tab feature in File Explorer in both the Dev and Beta Channels; if you are curious, you can follow these steps: Step 1. Make sure you have used Windows 11 Build 22581.100.
Step 2. Download ViVetool on the following GitHub page, then open Command Prompt as Administrator > Go to the Directory where ViVeTool is stored and enter the command > ViVeTool.exe add config 34370472 2
Please try, guys.
