So, today the Google news is "robots that automatically phone businesses and have conversations on your behalf", and the Microsoft news is "Notepad can now cope with Unix line endings". Symbolic or what?
- Zelizz 9y agoPretty sure that Google is advertising a service that you might pay for, whereas Microsoft is adding a new feature (in reality, many features) to an OS you already paid for. Full disclosure, I work for Microsoft, this post doesn't reflect my employer in any official capacity, etc.
- jxi 9y agoFar more likely for Microsoft to try to charge you for random features/upgrades than Google. This is also backfilling a feature that should have been implemented years ago.
- GordonS 9y agoFWIW, Microsoft also made an AI related announcement today about their new, OSS, cross platform machine leaning framework, ML.NET: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/05/07/introducing-ml-net-cross-platform-proven-and-open-source-machine-learning-framework/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/05/07/introduci... Just a tad less dramatic that a robotic telephone assistant, but still :)
- nxc18 9y agoTake a look at their other keynote(s) yesterday. Much more impressive demos for developing consumer and Enterprise experiences. Today's keynote was about the windows and office platform specifically.
