- The broad opportunity with Windows for developers, including new hybrid AI app patterns for new edge endpoints without walled gardens.

In addition, Microsoft has also identified new opportunities for developers and partners to maximize user engagement and monetize their apps. As it relates to our Modern Work and Life solutions, these new increased capabilities for ISVs include:
