Microsoft even has a Teams documentation page explaining why Microsoft Teams might have high memory use.Įlectron uses Chromium for rendering and Chromium’s behaviour is to detect how much system memory is available and utilizes enough of that memory to optimize the rendering experience. It’s popular with some developers for its flexibility, but it’s also a well-documented memory hog. Electron is a framework for creating desktop applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. If you are not interested in the detail, the punchline is Teams is moving to a more performant and more Microsoft controlled technology stack, meaning a better and more performance client experience. Teams/Microsoft will continue to contribute back to apollo, graphql, reactjs, chromium projects.
#SIGMA CLIENT 2.0 LEAK WINDOWS#
“Teams 2.0”, a name Rish coins in his tweet, but I suspect not an actual product name/version, launches with Windows 11 and consumer accounts then commercial will move to the same architecture. Teams is also leveraging apollo graphql. Microsoft Teams is moving away from Electron to Edge Webview2. It gave a lot of useful insight into what is coming. Canon did it themselves with the original 85mm f/1.2, taking the spotlight from the then-more-popular 100mm primes of the day.Credit to Brad Sams for first reporting on this, Alongside the Windows 11 announcement today, Rish Tandon, the CVP Engineering for Microsoft Teams, posted on Twitter about changes coming to Microsoft Teams architecture. Putting out lenses like this is how lens manufacturers take over the market. If they take this opportunity to also improve their horrific AF (yes, it really is horrific) then this isn't just a safe profit for them this is the 85mm f/1.2 killer, this is the 100mm f/2.8L killer, this is the 135mm f/2 killer. They can be sure to sell enough to make a solid profit if it's up to the standard of their past primes. Sigma's primes have been doing very well for them throwing in another popular (and in the case of Canon, long-requested) length and aperture combination is a very safe play for them. Then you've got Sony putting out things like the 100mm STF, Laowa do their version, and 100-110mm equivalents have been the go-to portrait length for medium format systems since the 1940s. Canon's own 100mm f/2 has sold fairly well for nearly three decades, while the 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro is one of the best-selling prime lenses Canon has ever had if you ever ask a Canon rep about it, they'll gladly tell you the company puts most of the sales down to portraiture, rather than anything demanding the macro functionality. It also makes business sense keep giving photographers a reason to stick with the EF mount, something they can't find anywhere else.Ĭlick to expand.Nikon has 105mm f/1.4 and it's been a big seller for them. So I'm not trying to bash Canon but gosh I do think they could give us a few more exotics, even if they are compromised as they tend to inevitably be. Read Lensrental's tear down of the 35mm 1.4L II and see a level of engineering no other manufacturer comes close to. I admit I am a little sad that Canon has become conservative in some respects but a company can only push in so many directions and Canon's relentless pursuit of build quality, good ergonomics and ceaseless refinement of the great whites and 2.8 zooms has been a perhaps less "exciting" focus but a reasonable focus nonetheless.
And years before that Nikon had had their own glory years with the Nikon "Noct" 58mm 1.2 as well as some amazing wide angle lenses like the 13mm 5.6 "Holy Grail". 20-30 years ago that kind of aggressive, push-the-boundaries approach was part of Canon's approach, with lenses like the 50mm 1.0, 85mm 1.2 and 200mm 1.8. When one adds in the 20mm 1.4, 14mm 1.8 and 24-35 2.0 one really has to tip one's hat to Sigma. The Nikon 14-24/2.8 and 105/1.4 were two lenses Canon has no direct answer to and yet it seems quite likely now we will have two either comparable or possibly even better lenses in the EF mount and for good prices. In a funny way Sigma are making it far less tempting to ever switch to Nikon.
If this matches the quality of their other Art lenses it will be very tempting.
