I managed to take in some sessions during last week’s Microsoft Ignite, including the main event - their annnouncement about Mesh, a mixed reality platform that brings the physical and virtual worlds together in ways that most of us have never seen or imagined before. Gamers may rule in this world, but yes, there will be applications in the collaboration space, and Teams is part of the story.

Longer-term, this could well be Microsoft’s big play for a post-PC world, so it’s a good strategy to establish themselves before that time comes. Lots to discuss, and I’m just scatching the surface in this post I put together last week for BCStrategies. It’s running now on their portal, and if you give it a read, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
