For the perfect marriage of simplicity and power, Microsoft has always been a cut above. Equally, the Surface laptops and tablets can be switched on and used to their full capacity straight away, all built with an intuitive user experience in mind. That’s why its Office software has always been favoured by users for business and leisure - it’s so simple to get to grips with, yet possesses immense functionality if you want to go deeper. Such innovation has continued with its Xbox console series, Surface laptops and upcoming Hololens computers that promise to make the science-fiction hologram an everyday reality.īut with all that innovation, Microsoft has never lost sight of making its products user-friendly. Having been a leading Operating System provider since the 1980s, its Microsoft Windows interface made it an even bigger player, before the 1990 Microsoft Office suite changed the face of productivity forever. Plenty of companies talk big about being ‘gamechangers’, but Microsoft walks the walk too.
