Any link on the old MS office videos? Never heard of this

  There was a series of them made from 2009 to 2015. Originally they were intended to show what Microsoft productivity products would look like in 2020. Here is the first one that I could find, as far as I can tell Microsoft doesn’t distribute them anymore. https://youtu.be/8Ff7SzP4gfg https://youtu.be/8Ff7SzP4gfg The big ideas were that screens would be everywhere, and dedicated animated touch interfaces would be the default computing interface. This motivated the development of the windows 8 and Microsoft surface line of products to at least a certain extent - but looking at the videos it’s clear that nothing remotely like what they show would have been possible/common in 2020.
