Introducing news and interests on the Windows taskbar

As people spend more time on their Windows PCs, working, learning, connecting, and creating, we’re making it easier to access personalized content that is available at a glance and updated throughout the day.

News and interests on the taskbar give you easy access to information that’s important to you, without the distraction of switching between apps, websites, and other devices. View your location’s current weather conditions directly on your taskbar and hover over the icon to see concise, scannable information from sports and stocks to local news and breaking headlines.

News and interests on the Windows taskbar will begin rolling out to customers over the next several weeks. We are taking a phased and measured approach and broad availability will occur in the coming months.

Everyone: we need new redesigned file explorer

Microsoft: lets add that task bar thing which nobody asked for

The music is far too grandiose for what this is.

[Leindurstit]

Introducing more operating system-level vectors for advertising and compulsory user behavior tracking. What a time to be alive.

Microsoft: so nobody is using our News app. Let's then force people to use it by adding it on the taskbar 🤣🤣🤣

If Microsoft spent half as much energy on Windows as this video editor did on the music, we would have one hell of an operating system.

Yes, another feature to hog up the internet speed and system resources 🙂

[spacemeter]

Great, even more bloatware, which makes the PC slower.

[dethmunky]

Yay, more advertising content! As though the Edge Home Page wasn't filthy enough with it.

[pharven]

This will be an update for Windows that i will actually use. Great work

[oacoello]

Best part of this new feature is that withouth opening an app or Start menu I can know weather (inside home).

I think you can improve in this kind of videos, make it with more animations and easy explanations. Nice job @Windows

[johnpen]

Whoa! That's insane are you saying we will be able to read news on our PC now? Mind blown.
