      Actually sounds pretty great. I am too busy to read. Is there a timeframe?

      A decade later than the iPhone and probably twice as vulnerable.

      Let me guess, it requires a logged-in microsoft account on all the devices you want to use, right? Useless.

      The current trajectory MS runs with all their invasive AI stuff, I really don’t want anything connected with my W11 machine if it’s not specifically required.

      Honest question; Are you actually doing any “work” on your phone, other than maybe reading a document or two?

      I never used this in Windows 10 and still don’t see a use case for it.

      I guess if I was typing up a technical document on my phone, it would be convenient to just seamlessly pick up where I left off on my desktop. But I don’t author documents on my phone, because the keyboard and UI are horrible for the job.

      Maybe if I’m checking in for a flight, and instead of just tapping “check in” on my phone I … would prefer to go use a desktop, for some reason?

      I mean can’t this be done already through various Google applications?

      It’s gonna require having a Microsoft account obviously and using/subscribing to their office suite, neither of which I have any intention of being a part of.

      The latest windows update tries to trick you on restart into thinking that you have to link your computer to your phone. It’s gross

      #THANK YOU!

      to Microsoft for this likely highly useful feature!

      Also:

      ————————

      #F’CK YOU!

      to Microsoft for all the other not so useful, destructive, counter-productive, misery-inducing things you have been doing to Windows at a far greater frequency than you’ve been doing the above!

      I used to run a small Windows shop and would disable this feature. I got out of that world and associated lusers.

      I already do this. My work uses OneDrive, so I can just open the Microsoft app and the most recently used files are there. I just open it and edit really quick. The “handoff” of calls and meetings between phone and device is nice and smooth, but I can’t think of scenarios where that’s really needed so quickly/smoothly for working on documents. I’m not sure what usability this adds and seems unnecessary and not much more helpful in most use cases I can think of.

      Non-Apple made products and features that can interact with iPhone, pretty much always will. 

      Apple-made products and features that can integrate with non-Apple phones pretty much never will unless there’s no other way

      Meanwhile I open Management Studio and taskbar doesn’t work properly (unless I close that program), thanks Microsoft for programs that are not compatible with one another…

      It wouldn’t be a normal day in r/technology if Redditors weren’t having a mental breakdown over an available feature that they can simply choose not to use.

      Save your hype, nothing actually good will come out of Microsoft Windows 11

    19. Main_Worth_7606 on

      I don’t think it’s a good idea to give Microsoft access to our phone, given their track record on privacy.

    20. i__hate__stairs on

      Oh no, they’re gonna stop making windows because there will be no incentive to buy a PC if you can get all the features on a Mac!!1!

      They want to be able to get your data from all your devices. To do that you’re going to have to give him permission to index all your files on all your devices. Maybe I’m wrong doubt it but maybe
