Next at Microsoft

Well, what now? There’s also the Pulse app as well as other apps that represent the other blogs on multiple platforms. And now, there’s even Next at Microsoft, the first-party sort of the news viewing app for Windows 8. This is about the stories from across Microsoft and get behind the scenes of the trends such as the Natural User Interface and Big Data as well as profile the work of the people the blogger, Steve Clayton meets from Microsoft Research, his incubation labs, designers, developers and more.

How is this the magazine style online news viewing app? It doesn’t look like an online magazine or some sort at all to me because it consists of all the blog posts posted on various blog sites around Microsoft domain. Performance is also the key goal to the developers so you can speed through the content with a flick and not be distracted by unnecessary bells and whistles.

In the future, there will be version 2 coming in with more stuffs but in the meantime, you can install the app and it’s already free and get started.
