Microsoft’s upgrade to its team board is all about unlocking the power of the team.
Meet the latest member of the Surface family. In as much as this isn’t consumer centered it’s nice to see all that Microsoft is doing with productivity and business. Might even give a glimpse into what can be scaled down into consumer hands. (lol, I’m not talking surface phone. But will like to see what can be one in the eyes of Microsoft).
