The official Microsoft Blog recently published an article which demonstrated Microsoft’s glimpse into the future of productivity. Kurt DelBene today announced a new video that shows their vision on the future of productivity.
The video carries forward many of the themes laid out there, as well as introducing some new ones. Natural user interfaces, displays everywhere, an ecosystem of devices, cloud computing are consistent. New themes emerge in this video such as technology working on our behalf, and context plays a much bigger part in many scenes. As Kurt notes in his post, this vision is no flight of fancy – all of the ideas contained in the video are based on real technology – from Microsoft and others.
In a new Microsoft Tellme promo ad , we see how the future of Microsoft Tellme on Windows Phone might look like. It looks like you could just start taling to Windows Phone like you would to a person and it will get you results on what you are looking for and with Twitter and Facebook integrated right in to the OS it will take in to account what your friends recommend !!! Once it has the result it will tell you talk to you about the various result it has , the phone actually tries to talk to you and addresses you by your name .. I am not sure I am ready for that just yet. I would assume you will get a notification and if you choose to get it it will say it out to you, I believe no one would want their phone to just start speaking to them every now and then from their pocket ;).

The future of Internet searching has a strong future, especially as long as companies like the world-dominating Google keep making the most of mobility and advanced search algorithms. The Internet Search: Mobile Version incorporates a touchscreen, built-in camera, WiFi, Google Map and Search, and image recognition to produce a search platform like nothing we’ve never seen.
If you’re wondering what a word means of what building you are standing near, just whip out the mobile searcher and touch the translucent display as you would any touchscreen. The device then conducts a search of the area you clicked on using its image recognition and camera to find search matches for your criteria.
