Productivity Future Vision from Microsoft

Microsoft has today unveiled a new site office.com/vision along with a new video to explain their view on the future of productivity. According to the site, the video shows their vision for a future where technology extends and highlights our productive capabilities. The video builds on the previously released Vision 2019 ideas and forecasts a more connected, more streamlined way of implementing technology in our daily lives. MS emphasizes that all the ideas in the video are based on existing real technologies. Kurt DelBene, President of Office division at Microsoft says:

Watch this video to see how we see technology moving from a passive tool to a more active assistant, helping us get things done, and strengthening our interactions with one another. You’ll see how people can stay productive using a variety of devices from slates and PCs to mobile devices where they can access their information regardless of their location or the device they are using.
Collaborating on projects with remote colleagues gets easier. Information can be interacted with and manipulated using touch and voice commands to create beautiful and useful documents. Better decisions can be made faster with information that is contextually relevant to where you are and what you are doing.
