#MicrosoftPride: Open dialogue, donations to LGBTQI+ nonprofits, actions for equity and visibility Put together by employees across all continents, Pride at Microsoft is a grassroots and global phenomenon. “For us, Pride is an opportunity to reflect on our past and galvanize action,” writes Chris Capossela, Microsoft’s chief marketing officer and executive vice president of the worldwide Consumer Business. “We believe now more than ever we need to encourage open dialogue because it helps us create momentum, build empathy and change history. Yesterday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision protects LGBTQI+ people in the workplace from discrimination — but also serves as a reminder that the journey toward a truly equitable future isn’t over. The events of these past few days, weeks and months are a call to action.” During June, which is Pride month, Microsoft is making a $250,000 donation to nonprofits [ more… ]

Lenovo Flex 5G PC to be available in the US starting June 18 To empower mass adoption of ultra-fast, low-latency laptop connectivity, Lenovo is partnering with Verizon, EE, Sunrise and CMCC. These mobile network operators are committed to making 5G computing a reality for consumers around the world.

Introducing Windows Insider Channels Hey Folks! Today, we’re excited to announce some changes to the way we release new builds to all Windows Insiders. We are transitioning and converting our current ring model, based on the frequency of builds, to a new channel model that pivots on the quality of builds and better supports parallel coding efforts. In addition to this change, Insiders will also find similar offering names and expectations across Windows and Office programs and soon Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Teams. Our goal is to not only make it clearer for existing Insiders to choose the experience that’s right for them, but also for new Insiders to pick the right channel as they join. The Insider community is very important to us all and we’re working to align how all our Insider programs work better together across Microsoft. [ more… ]
