Microsoft Notion has launched! I mean... Loop.

Microsoft Loop is a new app that combines a powerful and flexible canvas with portable components that stay in sync and move freely across Microsoft 365 apps. Work together, even when you're apart Cocreate, build on each other's ideas, and add a little personality. Loop is an entirely new way to work together—designed for the hybrid world.

OT: was curious how often typo "Mircosoft" happens--it's a lot. Best search result was urban dictionary:

mircosofting

  Microsofting: Verb
  infinitiv microsoft
  presens microsofting
  preteritum microsofted
defintion: When a company builds up a good reputaion with quality products, then goes to screw its costumer over with faulty merchandise. Knowing loyal consumers will buy their product in good faith, only to die inside when it invitably shows itself to be a unfinished or terrible product.

  1. Microsoft really microsofted us with Windows 8.
  2. Why is Sony microsofting us on the Playstation 4?
  3. Activision clearly wanted to microsoft Call of duty: ghosts.
  4. Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas enjoy mircosofting the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises.


Trend of not putting a simple description is annoying.


The speed at which Microsoft is releasing interesting products this year is crazy (Bing AI, Copilot X, Designer, and now Loop)... They must have a nice lean organization. I know many corporate that even if they want and put crazy budgets to it, will not succeeed due to internal process and approvals...


So this is... what? A notion/confluence competitor? I've checked the landing page, announcement, and a few other spots and I don't get a clear answer.


It seems yes. It's seems that the key feature, apart from the gpt integration, is that you can share text across apps :

Like you can start to work on a bulletpoint list on Teams during a meeting, and directly have the documentation updated in Word.
