Microsoft Build 2020: All the biggest announcements from annual developer conference

Despite the coronavirus pandemic putting large gatherings on hold, Microsoft Build – the technology giant's annual developer conference – went ahead this week, albeit virtually. The company announced numerous new features for the future of its operating system, Windows 10, including a search-bar similar to Spotlight on Apple's computers and "Fluid Office" – a competitor to Google's suite of online office applications such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Fluid Office is currently available as a preview, and works akin to a version of Microsoft Office content that exists on the web. This contrasts from typical online services in a number of ways. Google Docs, and to a lesser extent Apple's Pages, let users create a document or table that can be shared in its totality quickly and easily via a link or through downloading the file.
