Microsoft Start doesn’t seem drastically different from the already-available Microsoft News, which it will replace, but it will deliver news, weather, sports, stock quotes, and more to Windows, the web, and on mobile.
Microsoft has been in the news game for many years, most notably with MSN on the web, followed by more recent, modern experiences in the Microsoft News app, in a feed on the Edge browser’s start page, in the Windows 10 News and Interests panel, and in the upcoming Windows 11’s widgets. Its latest news effort hits on all those areas.
