Intelligent Edge devices and solutions were on full display at the Microsoft CES 2020 Showcase this week. New PCs, connected storefront and IOT solutions demonstrated the power of Microsoft\u2019s unique and growing relationship with its partners around the world.<\/p>\n

Working with this vibrant partner ecosystem has long been a priority for Microsoft and it is a key differentiator that\u2019s helped make Windows 10 and Azure successful. Taking a collective, collaborative approach enables the top minds in our industry to work together, accelerate innovation, and ensure we bring great devices and experiences to market for our customers. Together with our partners, we are driving technology forward.<\/p>\n

During the first CES of a new decade, we\u2019ve been doing our own 10-year challenge this week, looking back at where we were in 2010 in contrast with how dramatically things have changed since then. Every year along the way has brought exciting innovation across the intelligent edge and computing as a whole, and it\u2019s at these milestones where we can see the dramatic shifts in the tech landscape.<\/p>\n

As we close out another great year at CES, let\u2019s look at where we\u2019ve been, how far we\u2019ve come and where we\u2019re headed.<\/p>\n

A decade of disruptive change <\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2010, Intel launched its Core i7 line \u2014 the first six core desktop CPU. Blackberry owned double the market share of the iPhone and triple that of smartphones running other operating systems. The iPad and Instagram launched. Office 2010 was introduced and surpassed Microsoft\u2019s previous records for adoption, deployment and revenue.<\/p>\n

Ten years later, we can see how some of those innovations moved entire markets. Some of them played their role then passed the baton to other creations. And new, disruptive technology trends have emerged, affecting the entire technology industry.<\/p>\n

Today we are in an age of services, cloud computing, AI and machine learning. Next-generation Windows PCs and entirely new product categories are being built to incorporate cloud and AI services, support new experiences like virtual and augmented reality, and address our insatiable demand for new ways to work with data.<\/p>\n

With these emerging technologies and trends, we are creating new possibilities for the modern PC that weren\u2019t on the radar in 2010. Yet in today\u2019s PCs we still see parallels with the innovation from a decade earlier\u2014in 2020 as in 2010, the whole ecosystem remains focused on delivering new customer scenarios. And as we move into a more connected, intelligent era of computing, PCs today can do what PCs simply could not do a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Partner innovations at CES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The impact of the past decade\u2019s innovations is showing up in many ways across a spectrum of devices. Features like Windows Hello, Windows Ink and Cortana all require specific hardware to work well, and this week, our partners have demonstrated innovations that complement our software, like fingerprint readers on the power button and cameras with security features, among many other advancements large and small.<\/p>\n

Along with the evolution of devices have come changes in the expectations of both consumers and commercial customers. People want attractive, high-quality devices with no tradeoffs between cost and quality. At CES this week, we\u2019ve seen how our partners continue to offer attractive, no-compromise devices packed with premium features to customers at all price points.<\/p>\n

The Windows ecosystem is growing every year, and CES 2020 showcased some of the most innovative devices we\u2019ve seen\u2014from incredibly thin and light laptops, convertibles and 2-in-1s, to powerful gaming rigs, always-connected devices and more. Some of the devices at the show included:<\/p>\n
