Microsoft yesterday announced a slew of software and app updates, as well as both improved and entirely new hardware devices. While rumors have floated around about the next Windows 10 update from Microsoft, suggesting it would carry the name “Redstone 2,” the update Microsoft unveiled is called Creators Update.
As its name suggests, it’s aimed at creators, which Panos Panay, chief of devices at Microsoft, emphasized extends to more than artists or those with jobs traditionally considered creative. Microsoft’s definition includes anyone who creates anything — be it in Word, PowerPoint, Excel or Photoshop. Panay says everyone should have intuitive, functional software that allows the user to create the best documents, images and files possible.
