I was going to agree with you but the execution of this article is quite awful. The worst part of it is how there was no reason for this to be subdivided into pages.

An average page in the Microsoft story has fewer than 700 words.

In the NYT's Snowfall, the average chapter is 3,000+ words.

The NYT has an incentive to increase pageviews with pagination. Microsoft is paginating their press releases.

Thanks.

I didn't realize there were more pages. I just thought it was a very short and fluffy article.

What? There's more than just one page?

I know MS is a favorite target, but this honestly looks like it was designed by an intern.

More importantly, it reads like a jewelry advertorial in an in-flight magazine.

Is anyone able to watch the videos to the end? They seem to stop mid way for me- all of them. And I have a pretty fast connection.
They also die when I attempt to go fullscreen. Gave up.
Same here, now I have to got back to the story. Funny I don't remember seeing a way to get to another page...
