The Intrazone, episode 6: “The desktop diet”

Microsoft

Jun 12, 2018

The Intrazone is your bi-weekly conversation and interview podcast hosted by the SharePoint team.

Have you ever thought Office or SharePoint to be sugar free? In this episode, Chris and I take the 'desktop diet' challenge and talk about what it was like going desktop free – productive using only browser and mobile. Special guests include the people who help make a desktop diet experience achievable, Dan Costenaro and Mike Morton from the Office Online Engineering Team, discussing how they build Office Online for Firstline workers and how they bring Office to the cloud for everyone. Mark and Chris also talk with Jason Himmelstein from Rackspace during the SharePoint Conference North America 2018. Jason share his thoughts on SPC18, Rackspace employee value, Box-to-OneDrive migrations, and his podcast BI Focal.

Get your ears ready – it’s sure to be a sweet, sugar-free audible treat!
