Microsoft is focused on delivering one experience
across all the devices in your life. The centerpiece of that strategy
and experience are the Microsoft services and apps that come right from
(the) Start on your new Windows device.
This is the first blog post in a series that will highlight the apps and services driving toward this “one experience” vision. This experience comes to life through more than 20 new and improved Microsoft apps and services that come as part of Windows 8.1, including a new one that we are announcing today – Skype, right from (the) Start!
It’s where you want to go today….
Staying connected, expressing yourself, getting stuff done, having serious fun: these are some of the most important things we all do, every day, and we believe your Windows device should reflect that right from the first moment you power it on.
Today’s new Windows experience really is quite an evolution. From the operating systems of yesteryear, asking “Where do you want to go today?,” Windows 8 and the soon to be released Windows 8.1, are the start of a fresh perspective, delivering a complete experience that focuses on the things people value most.
We have been building an expanding base of consumer apps and services. Bing, Skype, Internet Explorer, SkyDrive, Outlook.com, Xbox Music, Video, and Games are just a few of the experiences that are now part of your new Windows device. Each service itself is compelling, and the magic really happens when they smoothly flow together to create one experience.
SkyDrive is a great example of our new approach. As many have had a chance to take an early look at the 8.1 preview they are really struck by the “secret sauce” behind SkyDrive’s integration into Windows – fundamentally changing the game when it comes to offline access to all your files in the cloud.
Here’s what is being said about our new approach:

Here’s what is being said about our new approach:
- Gizmodo: The New SkyDrive Might Be the Best Cloud Storage Yet: ”The ability to sort through all your files while you're offline, when you don't have them stored locally, seems very small. But it's only small if you think nuances of everyday experience are small. They're not, of course. This is the sort of insight that you do not really expect Microsoft to take a lead on. It cuts through to what makes an experience inferior, and fixes it.”
- ArsTechnica: SkyDrive in Windows 8.1: Cloud storage the way it’s meant to be: “In Windows 8.1, SkyDrive becomes an elegant, easy to use cloud storage solution. The free storage alone makes it compelling; the deep integration into the operating system makes it better than its competitors.”
- Laptop Magazine: One of the more exciting features of Windows 8.1 is that SkyDrive is now more deeply woven into the operating system.
