Microsoft Fluid Framework: flexible Word in the future - a view

This year, Microsoft developers conference took place, although only virtually, the announced News but still having it in. Because the US group has revealed more Details about the new "Fluid Framework", the last year has been announced.

"Fluid Framework" is actually not a single program or a collection of Apps, but a whole modular System. And Open-Source.
