UPDATES May 2: The standalone edition of Microsoft Defender for Business is released. Touted by CEO Satya Nadella as 'the next big breakthrough in Microsoft 365,' Loop delivers little applications within Teams, letting users create notes, task lists and tables on the fly, which can be messaged to collaborative team members.

#0 AD ROADMAP UPDATE#

Microsoft Loop has already been released to Microsoft 365 'commercial customers' using Teams, though Microsoft plans to update it over 2022 with new features. Teams Connect will let organizations use Teams with other organizations, bringing capabilities such as chat, as well as document sharing and real-time coauthoring, plus online meetings, via a 'shared channel.' Teams Connect, currently in private preview, is also expected to launch in 2022. Microsoft plans to issue a preview of Mesh for Teams sometime in the first half of 2022, with general availability to follow later in the year. In a nutshell, Mesh for Microsoft Teams promises to deliver new options for digital collaboration that include personalized avatars and 3-D environments. Mesh for Microsoft Teams, first announced at Ignite in November, is at the forefront of Microsoft's 'metaverse' play. Out of the many components within Teams, there are a few standout features and capabilities that are expected to hit major milestones in 2022. Microsoft has taken pains over the past few years to make the collaboration platform inextricable from much of its product stack, greatly expanding its usability.

Microsoft Teams is in everything, and everything is in Microsoft Teams.

Windows 11 advances from Windows 10 with a rounded corners design change, plus more stringent security hardware requirements. Microsoft uses artificial intelligence to gauge machine readiness for feature updates, and also tracks a user's active hours to optimize update deliveries.

The once-per-year Windows 11 feature updates also promise to be less disruptive for end users. In making that change with Windows 11, Microsoft acknowledged some IT pros' grumblings that biannual Windows 10 feature update releases were just too frequent.

These once-a-year feature update releases will have '24 months of support for Home or Pro editions, and 36 months of support for Enterprise and Education editions,' according to Microsoft.
