We're a little behind :)
So why don't you just update that 2012 to 2015 or 2016?
We don't really send any traffic there, so it would be a moot point.

#72Whoa; So we've been working on our start-up, https://qwilr.com - for the better part of a year; with the notion of "Documents For The Web" as our guiding principle from day-dot.
Is this competition? I can't really tell.

#73Heading in the right direction, but still needs work. The rendering and layout don't work correctly in a window sized to 1920 x 2160 - things are getting clipped and the scrolling jumps 1/8th of the image, then to the next image.

#74Impressive for a number of reasons, many of which relate to the presentation/promotion of a Microsoft product: - Not a single Microsoft reference in the entire landing page - Broad use of Apple iPhone and iPad devices alongside normal PCs with no special acknowledgement - Product focus on readability/usability across many platforms, OS/device-independent - Broad integration of sharing hooks across Google, Twitter, FB…
You can add to that list that the product video on the page is hosted on YouTube, not a Microsoft streaming video service.

#75Based on the preview video, I liked Sway for following reasons:
-- Device/Platform agnostic (can be used on iOs & more)
-- Do research within the application can be a great user experience (assuming MS will allow options to integrate Google, DuckDuckGo as well along with default Bing for search)
-- Quickly sharing dynamic document online and with anyone via link.
-- Can start putting away draft document at the event itself can be good to note down ideas.
Overall, I am pleasantly surprised that it came from Microsoft who I feel having still very old static office products such as Word and Powerpoint.

Try to imagine the same ad from Apple. With Surface Pro 3 and Nokia Lumia.

#79Prezi!
This was my first thought too. Certainly the output looks like prezi in the example I viewed. The inability to link to a particular part though reminds me of monolithic flash websites in a bad way.
Hopefully the most value lies in the production interface?
