- Hello, and welcome back to Microsoft Mechanics Live.
Coming up, we're going to have a treat here.
We're going to be joined by Jack Elmore.
He's going to take on the challenge
of demoing the latest modern desktop experiences
with Office 365 Pro Plus and Windows 10 client updates,
in 10 minutes or less,
as part of our annual Demopalooza Challenge.
Now, in the time that we have,
we're going to try to look at as many of the latest
or lesser-known capabilities and innovations that we can
across AI, teamwork, creativity, and security.
Anyone think Jack can do it?
- [Audience Members] Whoo.
- All right, we're going to try to beat 12 from last year,
but please give me a warm welcome for Jack Elmore,
from the Microsoft 365 team.
- Thanks, Jeremy.
Good afternoon, Ignite.
- Thank you, Jack.
So, there's been a lot of focus on modern desktop
with Microsoft 365, and Windows 10, and Office 365 Pro Plus,
and all the integrated security across EMS,
all the management capabilities that we have there.
We thought we'd invite you back on the show
to really make this real for all of us,
'cause last time you were on with us,
you actually wowed us with AI, and real time translation,
and a bunch of other things.
You got in about 12 demos in 10 minutes,
and despite me giving you a bunch of grief the whole time,
I promise I'm going to be better this time.
I'm not going to try to knock you off course.
- I appreciate it, my feelings were really hurt last time.
Took me a long time to get over it.
- I'm going to be more supportive, I promise.
So we've got 10 minutes again.
Let's get the timer cued up and ready.
- Okay, let's do this.
- All right, looks like we got 10 minutes on the clock.
Are you ready to go?
- I'm ready.
- All right, and go.
- All right, first, AI isn't a product.
It's integrated into everything we do
in Microsoft 365 and Azure.
You can see Cortona is my personal assistant.
She interprets my mail,
and keeps track of commitments I make,
like the PowerPoint I promised you by one o'clock.
- Yeah, I was wondering about that.
I bet Cortana can't actually give me
a PowerPoint presentation, though can she?
- Well, hold on a moment, because AI in PowerPoint
and across the suite can deliver some amazing results.
We announced this morning the new Ideas capability.
Now, last year, I showed you PowerPoint Designer
and a variety of intelligence tools.
I had to know where those tools are, and invoke them myself.
Ideas brings all of these intelligence features to me.
St. Louis is our newest MTC that opened last week.
I look after the Seattle,
and you'll notice when I type the word Seattle
on the right-hand side,
Ideas is suggesting I may want to include a photo
to make this look a little bit better, so let's do that.
Now Ideas iterates, comes back,
says, "You got a photo, but it doesn't look very good.
"How about we give you a layout,
"to make the photo look amazing."
- That looks much better.
- Now, let's move on to slide number two,
and let's see what Ideas can do to help me here.
Ideas now is sorting out that I'm not very consistent
with respect to how I use punctuation,
so it's saying, "Semi-colons, commas, periods, and none.
"How 'bout we just tighten that up a little bit,
"make it a little bit more consistent?"
And then when I go to slide three,
we're going to get a different set of coaching here.
Now, I don't want to debate with you
whether website has a space in the middle of it or not.
Let's just pick one, and tighten it all up, right?
So there you go, in just a few clicks,
that's intelligence coming to me
in a way that not obtrusive,
comes alongside to help without getting in the way.
What do you think?
Is it going to help you?
- Not bad. (audience applauds)
- All right.
- You know what this is missing, though?
Every good PowerPoint needs a chart.
- Oh, you're right, you're right.
We gotta have something good to back up our data.
Well, here I've got my target markets for Contoso,
and I'm going to take these countries,
now Excel been about what?
Formulas, numbers, text in a cell, for a long time.
And I'm going to use the power of being in the cloud
to augment the smarts that Excel has about these entities.
So if I look at the country of Columbia here,
look what Excel now understands.
The capital, a bunch of other stuff.
What can I do with that?
Well, I might be able to do things
like put the population in there.
Or maybe, for those of you that like object property syntax,
I click on this cell, and I simply type,
oh, gee, how 'bout the area?
Hit enter, and there I've got the area, right?
Pretty straightforward.
Now, Jeremy said I need a chart.
Let's go take a couple of these fields here.
I'll have Excel intelligently recommend a chart
that might work for me, and of course, it understands
these are geographic entities, drops the chart on there.
Oops, France is kinda messing up my zoom here,
so I'm going to temporarily, no offense to any French folks,
I'm going to temporarily remove France from the filter,
and zoom in on the chart.
So now I can simply take that chart,
and I can copy it to the clipboard,
drop it into my PowerPoint presentation.
- Very cool, but I know you've got a few more things.
- Well, there's another tab on my spreadsheet
called Project Per-- ooh.
- Oh, that doesn't look right.
- Whoa, what, uh, uh, let me--
- Error, could I come up--
- Yeah, I'll quit the cell, I'll quit the cell here.
- Okay.
- And let's just, oh!
Hey, wait a minute, ATP protected me.
Advanced Threat Protection has been protecting me
in email for some time,
but now we're checking the reputation of hyperlinks
across the Microsoft 365 applications.
So now I can't hang myself, right?
- And fun fact, because we don't require
the control button to be pressed during the link click,
this is the most attacked app, actually.
So this is really good stuff.
- Yeah, but I'm really kind of having a bad day.
I'm a little concerned about this spreadsheet
giving me a little trouble here.
- Okay.
- Do you have a copy?
- I'm actually, hold on, I got that thumb drive
that I found on the bridge from the Hyatt to here.
So why don't you try this?
- Just leaving it around?
Okay, good, because Jeremy finished his security training.
We're just going to pop this thing in here,
I mean, why not?
What could go wrong?
Let's see, the volume name is Secret Data,
so I think you've definitely picked up
something valuable here.
And I'm just going to open up
this market competitive analysis.
Let's take a look at this spreadsheet.
Gotta load the data.
Oh, I can't load the data because the macros, oh right.
Well, let's just go turn on the macros.
Eh, oh!
- Ooh. - Whoa.
- That doesn't look good.
- Well, let's click here to pay.
I'll find some Bitcoin, let's just go...
Oh, can't do that either.
Okay, so we are in a situation now
where my files are getting encrypted.
- Oh, you got some ransomware, looks like.
- Have you all seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
Remember when they roll the tires backwards,
when he took dad's car?
- But it didn't actually work in that movie, remember?
- Well, it's going to work here,
because what we have now is AI coming alongside to say,
"Hey, looks like you may have been hit by some ransomware.
"You're not usually modifying this volume of documents
"on a daily basis, so hey, how 'bout we give you
"a little button here, go to OneDrive?"
And I can go now and restore my files
back to a prior point in time.
It'll be as if it never happened.
So I simply select a date, like yesterday.
And here I can see the volume of changes,
and I can see the associated files underneath the covers.
And when I select restore and go back to my files,
there you can see they come
synchronized back down from the cloud,
and I'm totally not impacted,
and I didn't have to go buy Bitcoin
in the middle of the night.
(audience applauds)
- All right, so you've got five minutes left.
That was a long one, but a very good one,
so let's keep going.
- Okay, well, OneDrive does a whole lot more
than protect you from malware,
so I want to show you under the settings dialogue here
for OneDrive, if you go to autosave,
we have something called known folder moves.
These are all the sort of standard shelf folders
that are typically on the C-drive.
It'll simply intelligently redirect them to the cloud,
so that all of these benefits are extended to your files.
- It's great for desktop deployment as well,
'cause you can do this ahead of your re-imaging
or redeployment.
- And then you'll also notice here, under screen shots,
I can tell it to automatically save my screen shots
to OneDrive, so any of you that are pulling together
lots of different screen shots for training materials,
you just go, print screen, print screen, print screen.
You got all of those now in your OneDrive,
and you can quickly pull them back, very straightforward.
- Very cool, very cool.
But there's even more on OneDrive, right?
- Another thing I want to draw your attention to
is one of my favorites, and it's called files on demand.
So the good news is,
you can have lots and lots and lots of data on OneDrive.
The bad news is, your hard drive
is not unlimited in capacity on a laptop, yes?
On a portable device.
And so when I type DIR on these files,
I want you to kind of watch.
On the right-hand side, I've got the green check mark.
These are files that are temporarily on my hard drive
because I use them.
The ones with the cloud here
are not synchronized, but I still have visibility to them.
And if I scroll up here, I've got a solid green
that is just telling me I've pinned it to the device
so that it doesn't ever actually go away.
What's really fascinating about files on demand
is the degree to which it's integrated in the shell.
I want you to watch this file, OneDrive FOD.
Notice over here, the files that are not synchronized
still show up.
You can see how big they are, they're just in parentheses
'cause they're not synced down currently.
So now I'm just going to issue a type command,
and tell it to type that file.
But watch on the right-hand side, when I hit enter
synchronizes down, and OneDrive Rocks.
(audience applauds)
- How 'bout that? - Very good.
- Have access to all your files anytime, anywhere,
on any device.
- All right, so we're up to 11 demos.
You've got three minutes left.
You've got to beat last year's 12, so what've you got next?
- Well, I want to tell you a little bit about
something called Windows Timeline.
Now, this little button down here
traditionally brings up my multi-desktop view, right?
If I scroll down a little bit further,
Windows Timeline is actually keeping track
of the apps and content that I'm accessing
over a period of time.
So now when I'm thinking about I need to get back
to what I was working on Friday, I don't lose context,
I don't have to remember what the apps were,
I don't have to remember where the data was.
I just roll back in time,
and this is synchronized across my Windows 10 experiences,
so if I worked on it at the Office,
I can pick it right back up at home.
- And with that, you've actually matched
your demos from last year with 12.
And hit Windows tab, as well,
to be able to get the timeline.
- Fantastic.
So what I'm going to do now,
is I want to show you one other thing
that we got a lot of feedback on, that we've improved
for all of you in the room here today.
What I'm going to do is bring up my Colors setting.
Now, this may seem like a small thing,
but for those of you who work at night,
you might really appreciate having the dark theme.
More importantly, you might appreciate having the dark theme
applied to classic Explorer Windows.
- In Explorer.
- Sounds like there's a couple of people in the room.
Hey, I'm taking this stick out here.
- Oh, you better take that out.
- Seems kinda sketchy.
- I'll put that back in my pocket.
- So we've got light theme, we got dark theme.
These are going to be great accessibility capabilities,
as well as to honor your preferences.
- But I know there's even more on Windows 10,
so why don't you show us some new stuff there as well?
- I'd like to show you something sketchy, at the moment.
- All right, sketchier than this thumb drive, hopefully.
- And that's what we call screen sketch.
Now, this replaces the snipping tool,
and I'm going to use my pen here,
to go ahead and grab myself a sketch on this screen
like this.
Maybe I wanted to reinforce the light and dark.
And then you'll notice I accidentally kind of, oops...
The timing is killing me.
It's the stress, Jeremy.
- It's a lot of stress up here, isn't it?
- So I'm going to drag this out.
I'm going to accidentally kind of go too far there,
and you'll see I can quickly and intelligently crop that.
Very straightforward. - Very straightforward.
- But now I'm going to use my pen to mark it up.
So I say, hey, I want to draw your attention
to the dark theme here,
but let's put a ruler up here, right?
So now I can use the ruler just like you'd used to see
in my other ink demos like that.
But wait, protractors are not just
for high school kids anymore.
Let's put the protractor down here, shall we?
And we'll draw a circle around.
- There we go. - Like that.
Okay, and if you make a mistake, no big deal.
We just turn the pen upside down, use the eraser,
and go to town and erase that ink.
How's that?
- Very cool, so you got one minute left.
- All right, (audience applauds) one minute left.
So, the cloud clipboard.
Now, copy-paste is cool, but what I really like to do
is collect-and-paste.
How many of you want to copy more than one thing
before you got to go, yeah, exactly.
So Windows V is the shortcut,
and here you can actually see the things
I've been copying in my clipboard,
including prior images.
There's that map from the Excel demo before.
The clipboard synchronizes across your devices,
so you have access to all of those, wherever you are.
So we hope you'll really enjoy that.
I found a lot of great use cases for it myself.
- All right, so you're up to 15 now,
that's a few more than last year.
You've got 30 seconds, let's see what you can do on a roll.
- Okay, let me show you a couple.
All right, 30 seconds, fine.
Last year, I think you might remember, I did this,
I forgot to expense this receipt.
And so we put down a receipt,
and we use something called Office Lens to capture it.
Now Office Lens is built right in to multiple applications,
including the OneDrive app.
So if I scan the receipt,
you'll see it will outline the region
of what the receipt is.
I take the picture, it straightens the picture,
not so perfectly against the shiny surface.
(buzzer sounds)
- All right. - Oh.
- You have to stop, so judges in the back,
do we have some stoppage time, stoppage time?
(audience murmurs)
- You're killing me. - One minute, two minutes?
We've got two minutes of stoppage time,
but he's already beat his record from last year,
so let's do two more minutes. - All right, let's wrap it.
Here we go, search for the image SeaTac.
That's where I parked my car.
SeaTac is nowhere in the name of the file.
There's the receipt.
Do you see SeaTac about halfway down there, tax?
- It's under tax, by the way.
- So there I can pull up my images on my content
by where I was, what I was doing,
and it's fantastic.
Now, I'm going to bring up PowerPoint.
I showed you Ideas earlier.
Here's PowerPoint on my mobile device.
I'm going to drop a picture on this slide.
And when I drop the picture on there,
oh boy, there's some intelligence features coming about,
to help me just like I would expect.
If I take slide two, and then let's bring up
the design surface, and bring up design ideas,
it's going to create a series of stunning designs
for my slides, even while I'm mobile, right?
- Not bad.
- Across every Microsoft 365 surface.
Two last things I want to show you,
and then we'll wrap it up.
We've got updates we've made to the SharePoint app as well.
Here you can see it's very people-centric.
You've got access to your recent files and featured links.
Massive improvements in this application.
I encourage you to check it out.
And then finally,
Microsoft Stream brings secure video to mobile.
Enables an offline experience, but more importantly,
thought AI, I can do things like search for culture.
And there are the videos where the word culture is spoken,
and I can see exactly in the stream
where Patty is speaking about this.
I can then watch the video, make it available offline,
like it, add it to a watch list,
and all of that related goodness.
So that's a quick overview
of some of the great stuff we're doing in 365.
- But you've got 38 seconds left.
You forgot to tell us about all the greatness
that is Office, and the new UI updates.
- Well, there are some improvements
that are been made to Office,
and earlier, you may have caught it,
when I brought up my demo roll-out.
So here you can see,
we have something called the single line ribbon.
This is about sort of maximizing your creativity space,
if you will, and then delivering a consistent experience
across the devices, from small device form factors
to large device form factors.
For those of you that love the full, classic ribbon,
of course we continue to have that as a choice.
- All right, we're going to count you down.
Seven, six, five... - Did I win a Surface Go?
- It's almost time to go.
Three, two, one.
(buzzer sounds)
- All right. - 20.
Good job.
(audience applauds)
- How did we do?
- I don't know if I should come back next year (laughs).
- I know, you didn't sandbag it.
You got it all the way through 20 demos.
What do you think, guys, you like all his stuff?
(audience cheers and applauds)
- Great.
- All right, before you go,
you always asked, "Why don't you show us some new features?
"And what's in Office?
"Where do I find all these capabilities
that you've shown today?"
- I would assume if you're in this audience
that you're a technology enthusiast,
and you kinda like being out in front of things.
And so we have something called the Insider's Program,
and that's the way you get access
to early builds of Windows and Office.
How many of you, by the way, are insiders already?
- Anybody insiders? - There you go.
- Awesome.
- So plenty of you are familiar with this,
but I'd encourage you to jump in there,
and that'll give you early exposure
to all of the great innovation that we're showcasing today.
- Very cool, so thanks for joining us again, Jack.
And I'll see you next year, hopefully,
for another Demopalooza, where you can get more than 20.
- Okay (laughs).
- That's all the time we have for.
Follow us on Twitter and on YouTube.
Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time.
- Thank you.
