Among other announcements, we learned the name of Internet Explorer's successor: Microsoft Edge. The company also revealed that Office will soon be its own platform with add-on apps running inside the productivity suite. Microsoft plans to make it easier for developers to bring apps from Android and iOS to Windows on smartphones. And once again, we got a demonstration of the futuristic HoloLens headset.
