Windows is making big, big changes
After Windows 7,8 & 10, it looks like on June 24th we could be getting the =
latest software update to Microsoft=E2=80=99s operating system. It=E2=80=99=
s going to be called Windows 11! JUST KIDDING!
After seeing their market share decrease heavily over the past decade, part=
ly due to Chromebook=E2=80=99s recent dominance,
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtbT46flbYbGpQqlZVD5gyM2 it=E2=80=99s not a huge s=
urprise. But, that doesn=E2=80=99t mean it=E2=80=99s not worth your attenti=
on.
So, who=E2=80=99s headlining?
The big guests include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and chief product office=
r Panos Panay, plus others at the Windows event later this month.
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtcAWT35eMGkc2wRhfu41jLB It all starts at 11 AM ET=
/ 8 AM PT on June 24th. Not sold yet? Think about how groundbreaking previ=
ous Windows systems have been over the years.
The announcement comes just a week after Nadella hinted at the announcement=
of a =E2=80=9Cnext generation of Windows.=E2=80=9D
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtdiPFQPhBaXYeDmyzl2M4La that means, you=E2=80=99v=
e piqued our interest.
Should we expect the Mona Lisa?
No. But, the update is expected to be a huge change for the way Windows loo=
ks, operates, and most importantly, how it=E2=80=99s sold. We=E2=80=99re ju=
st hoping we get the old Office Assistant back.
Microsoft is expected to unveil big UI changes to its Windows operating sys=
tem, under the code name "Sun Valley". Either that or it=E2=80=99s a new fr=
agrance they are launching. We even got a little tease of a potentially new=
Windows Logo.
News reports indicate that Microsoft may allow apps from other companies an=
d payment platforms on its app store. This feels rather timely after what h=
appened
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xte0IsEzkpFBKqJRPTc1wPKJ last year, and the curren=
t legal battle between Epic Games & Apple.
This isn=E2=80=99t a marketing email we promise
Microsoft is hard at work on overhauling Windows 10. Some of the features i=
nclude a more intuitive file explorer, an improved settings menu, and updat=
ed system icons.
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xteIBfsjneafwCQn7d30hAKi
Leading up to the event, expect more rumours and details to come out but fo=
r now, we=E2=80=99re just excited to see some well overdue changes. Windows=
continues to be the dominant force in technology, but Google and Apple are=
making moves that Microsoft needs to stay ahead of. Let the games begin, m=
ay the odds be ever in your favour.
Thanks, Mark.
Be more like Mark.

Little Bits
Microsoft have announced
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtg8mP3NsR9x513nFQKXN6Jq expansion plans for their=
Xbox Game Pass this week. Promising to bring the Netflix of gaming whereve=
r you are on any device.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is going full Elon Musk as he announced
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtgQfBRxvFEaRd9SXaBWxRIZ his fintech company, Squa=
re, is investing $5 million in a solar-powered bitcoin mining facility. Cha=
-Ching!
The small Central American nation of El Salvador plans
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xthy8oFhyu8ODpgoeusViCIy to be the first country t=
o make Bitcoin legal tender. The move would open up financial services to t=
he 70% of the population who don=E2=80=99t have bank accounts.
Nigeria vs Twitter
The Nigerian government has been the latest country to face criticism for i=
t=E2=80=99s new social media policies. The country moved to indefinitely su=
spend citizens from accessing Twitter (clearly not a fan of 180 characters)=
, following the company=E2=80=99s removal of one of the president's tweets
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtiXTYgLE786bNtoN8aSO8HG for =E2=80=9Cabusive beha=
viour=E2=80=9D.
I know what you=E2=80=99re thinking: Pretty petty, right? Well, yes, but th=
is has set a very dangerous precedent. Blanket banning a social networking =
site isn=E2=80=99t new for many countries around the world (look at China).=
But it=E2=80=99s not just the deleted tweet that has everyone worried, mor=
e potential root causes,
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtjFML4vGVCJXZzU4s1RyTHf that could have grave imp=
lications for one of Africa=E2=80=99s most prominent nations.
The deleted tweet
What was said in the tweet? Well Muhammad Buhari, who has been president si=
nce 2015, suggested he would =E2=80=9Cpunish successionists=E2=80=9D follow=
ing recent dialogue
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtknFxSfJK7nKbGplLSQjEGO surrounding the brutality=
of the government in the Biafra Civil War during the 1960s.
As soon as the tweet got deleted, the country acted. Nigeria=E2=80=99s Fede=
ral Ministry of Information & Culture (great title) announced a suspension =
of Twitter operations in Nigeria. The announcement,
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtl5ykFZMyC1wnMUD5JP4pGn of course, was initially =
made on Twitter. The irony isn=E2=80=99t lost on us either.
Swiftly followed by a new policy of arresting and prosecuting anyone using =
Twitter. It feels like no GIF is worth prison time.
Dangerous Twitter times.
The reaction to the ban caused mass outrage right across the globe. Osai Oj=
igho, director of Amnesty International in Nigeria criticized the decision.=
In a statement
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtlNr7tJPn6FizTpUpANPaFW Amnesty shared, she said =
that =E2=80=9Csuspending Twitter in Nigeria is just one more way of stating=
that people=E2=80=99s rights do not matter.=E2=80=9D They aren=E2=80=99t t=
he only ones who have jumped to call out of the restriction of free speech.
Whilst the decision is undeniably dangerous, a quick glance at recent repor=
ts would suggest that it is not wholly unsurprising. A 2020 Amnesty report =
on human rights in Nigeria
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtmvjUhtSbBj4LZVbJrMzVFv said the government =E2=
=80=9Cused repressive laws to harass, intimidate, arrest and detain human r=
ights defenders, activists, media workers, and perceived critics.=E2=80=9D =
and it doesn=E2=80=99t stop there. =E2=80=9CNon-state actors also subjected=
journalists to intimidation, harassment and beatings.=E2=80=9D Twitter was=
n=E2=80=99t the start of the states controlling freedom of speech, it=E2=80=
=99s just now transferring onto social media. In 1 out of 3 countries syste=
matic social media restrictions have been reported since 2015.
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtndcH5dV05WQY6qt3iLkGF4
Under The Surface
Many critics have been quick to point out another potential reason for Nige=
ria=E2=80=99s swift and aggressive ban on the platform which may be surpris=
ing.
Back in April, Twitter opened its first-ever African office
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtnV5tSXXOAADacVKn9K5rED in neighbouring country, =
Ghana. Twitter cited Ghana=E2=80=99s free speech and online freedom record =
as well as =E2=80=9COpen Internet=E2=80=9D support as the reasons for the d=
ecisions.
Despite the reasoning, many in Nigeria considered the move to be a snub on =
the country. Nigeria=E2=80=99s information minister, the same one who annou=
nced the suspension, (what a guy) claimed that Twitter=E2=80=99s decision t=
o shun Nigeria was =E2=80=9Cdue to misrepresentation of the country by the =
media.=E2=80=9D Again...too ironic?
Keep an eye out for more updates on this story, we feel like this isn=E2=80=
=99t done just yet.
Etsy tries to join the cool kids.
Etsy, your mum=E2=80=99s favourite place for homemade stuff you don=E2=80=
=99t really need, last week took the jump to buy Depop, their cool kid cous=
in. The London-based application, famous for its street fashion and re-sale=
-mania, was snapped up for $1.65 billion.
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtoCYgGI0D5epmjr1H0IQcEc That is some expensive Ye=
ezy=E2=80=99s.
This deal is by far the largest in Etsy's history; seven previous acquisiti=
ons were all under $1 billion before this. Buying Depop makes total sense f=
or them. With over 20 million users worldwide, 90% of this below the age of=
26, that=E2=80=99s a huge amount of young customers buying on your platfor=
m. It=E2=80=99s a massive opportunity for both Etsy and Depop
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtpkR3us3rzSbypWj0RHAXDL to capitalise on these us=
ers over the next few years. If they play their cards right, Depop could be=
the future home for fashion buyers.
Think smart
One of the large success stories of the resale market, Depop,
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtqKCD5W94z9JWCWREzF6tCT has always promoted much =
more than just simple fashion. Promoting messages of sustainability and div=
ersity, while also launching features linking Instagram handles and tips/tr=
icks with influencers. Depop has always felt COOL. I=E2=80=99m not biased a=
t all, I only use it a few times a week.
At the heart of the app is vintage & on-trend fashion which for Etsy, is th=
e perfect market they need to tap into. Chief Executive Josh Silverman thin=
ks so too.
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtrsvpTGbT3Nw8Js8YqDReCs =E2=80=9CThe resale marke=
t, in general, is a massive market that we think is well-positioned for gro=
wth well into the future.=E2=80=9D That $1.6 billion is starting to look li=
ke pocket change. Almost as if Depop was sold on Depop, you see what I did =
there?
Where the money at?
When an app is free, the obvious question is how does Depop make its money?=
From every purchase, it takes a % fee and it=E2=80=99s worked with huge pa=
rtners over the past few years. From Adidas to Ralph Lauren, it has become =
the go-to place if you=E2=80=99re looking for a non-fast-fashion shopping o=
utlet. How much was sold on Depop last year? $650 million.
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtsaocHqeHyrikPXqihCBZC1 Casual.
It doesn=E2=80=99t just stop there, the FT reported
http://nomura.kano.me/c/1xtsSgZvahw354wWsHC8BmKBA this week how the acquisi=
tion also has some underlying wins on both sides. Etsy is already in every =
market across the world and is growing. Something that Depop is lacking is =
a worldwide userbase. While on the other side, Etsy=E2=80=99s mobile expert=
ise is poor and its social media =E2=80=98shareability=E2=80=99 doesn=E2=80=
=99t come close to what Depop can match. Bring them together and what do yo=
u get? A potentially huge player in the eCommerce world.
As long as I can still buy cheap second-hand sneakers, I=E2=80=99m happy.
One more thing
