TIMELINE FOR IOS AND ANDROID

Timeline will soon be supported on iOS and Android. If you use the same apps on phone and desktop, you’ll be able to go into your activity history and pick up where you left off. Timeline will be part of the Microsoft Launcher on Android, and in the Edge browser on iOS.

THINK ‘SETS’ NOT TABS

Microsoft will introduce a new feature called ‘Sets’ in the next version of Windows 10. It’s a system-wide tab system that lets you group apps into a single window or Set. The set will work like a modern browser, with separate apps occupying individual tabs.

YOUR PHONE APP ON WINDOWS 10

The new Your Phone app for Windows 10 will let users access texts, photos, and noti cations from their smartphone­s on a PC. You won’t just be able to read text messages, you’ll be able to type your responses. Microsoft says this app will support iOS and Android, to varying degrees.

MICROSOFT LURES DEVELOPERS WITH MONEY

Microsoft is taking a smaller cut of the money for apps sold on the Microsoft Store. It used to take 70 percent, but in some cases, developers can now keep up to 95 percent of the revenue. It’s a better deal than either Google or Apple, which take 30 percent of the revenue from developers.
