When you return, every note, every window, every partially written email remains exactly where you left it, preserving your mental context. The goal of Menlo was to create a

In 2010, the Menlo project was scrapped. Instead of Windows Infinity, Microsoft pivoted to the "Windows Phone" strategy, eventually leading to the Windows 8 "Metro" interface. Windows Infinity became a footnote—a path not taken.

In the late 2000s, Microsoft was at a crossroads. Windows Mobile was losing ground to the iPhone, and Windows 7 was a desktop triumph that couldn't fit on a phone screen. Internal documents later revealed that Microsoft was working on a secret project code-named
