I knew people who worked on these sorts of thought-leadership concept videos, and even some working advanced prototypes, at Microsoft back in the mid-2000s. I did work to get a team spun up to actually bring some of it to market. I haven't watched this video (life is to short), but I can say, based on what I know, I doubt they'll do any of this stuff until Apple (or someone else) does it first. The best they'll do is bring out some timid, watered-down version and price it too high, miss-market it, or both. When I was there, almost everyone was too risk adverse to actually try something that could fail, which means they were too risk adverse to try something that could succeed spectacularly. Anyone actually willing to take that sort of chance, and smart enough to make a decent go of it was smart enough to figure out that they'd have a better chance of succeeding AND profit more from success if they left the company.
