an internal enterprise social media platform

because - ostensibly - anybody human has ever wanted that

its probably just an internal microsoft thing that they tried to get subscriptions for and then when that didnt work they rolled it into office 365 to justify its expense

The point of Yammer was to trick a large tech company into buying Yammer. That worked perfectly and now Yammer has no point.

i just know there's not going to be a way to separate a tab cleanly from a window, and that a few releases down the line they'll let you disable tabbing completely so that instead of going between a word tab and a onenote tab you can keep each open on separate displays. i also wonder what the keyboard shortcut is going to be for switching between tabs, like there's no way ctrl+tab and ctrl+pgup/pgdown doesn't already exist in word or excel

Cybernetic Vermin

i'm not seeing why that would be more likely than them using the edge implementation, which works fine

excel uses ctrl+tab to switch between workbooks, which is, i assume, what the tabs will correspond to anyway. i think it does something different in word though, so may indeed be a change (i will toxx myself any day on them stealing ctrl+tab to consistently be to switch tabs in such apps though)

I actually just watched the video and yeah that's basically edge tabs but I didn't realized it was cross application which is super cool.

multimonitor support would probably be my biggest concern cause having reference material (yospos) on one screen and work on the other is how I spend most of my work day. The ability to tie a set across monitors would rule so I could tie a reference set of docs in edge with a specific solution in VS so that when I tab back to VS or back to the reference material it brings the full set to the top.

tabs should be in the center of the document, content should radiate outwards from them

there's no drm tho. you can download the mp3s and play them on whatever you want. they're just shutting down the servers.

nah, it's like apple music/itunes in that you can just subscribe and that's drmed and once they shut it down there goes your music, but you can also buy music which is drm-free.

drm would have carried the day if ubiquitous internet access had arrived earlier, what won the day was convenience, and streaming, being hugely convenient, is clawing the ground back for drm

puretracks was the one i used most recently and they apparently shut down in 2013

spotify offered me a $3/3mo deal and so far it sounds like they might have the edge on deezer, because their "we'll just build a playlist on the fly" playlist is more than a mishmash of the songs i'd indicated some interest in in the past

depends on what you mean by ubiquitous internet access. if you mean ubiquitous wifi access points and wifi hardware in mp3 players, then yea i can see that.

drm really sucked poo poo for moving around music to different devices + players
