i fired a client because they outright refused to replace their creaky, half-broken server 2003 server and xp workstations don't need that poo poo, and it turns out businesses that cheap don't make for good clients either, whoda thunk it?

it looks like microsoft is now back peddling on the "devices and services" classificationquote:More recently, we have described ourselves as a 'devices and services' company. While the devices and services description was helpful in starting our transformation, we now need to hone in on our unique strategy. again i gotta comment on the wordy elusiveness. they are trying to veil something here. you get that sense even before they say anything of substance. i think that makes it even worse.

for real though this isn't a change in anything other than the messaging. "mobile" equates to "devices" because the former depends entirely on the latter, while "cloud" translates to "services" becaus ewhat the gently caress else do you use a cloud for?

PleasureKevin posted:if they're mobile first, butt first and all about productivity, how does the xbox fit? I also want to share some additional thoughts on Xbox and its importance to Microsoft. As a large company, I think it's critical to define the core, but it's important to make smart choices on other businesses in which we can have fundamental impact and success. The single biggest digital life category, measured in both time and money spent, in a mobile-first world is gaming. We are fortunate to have Xbox in our family to go after this opportunity with unique and bold innovation. Microsoft will continue to vigorously innovate and delight gamers with Xbox. Xbox is one of the most-revered consumer brands, with a growing online community and service, and a raving fan base. We also benefit from many technologies flowing from our gaming efforts into our productivity efforts - core graphics and NUI in Windows, speech recognition in Skype, camera technology in Kinect for Windows, Azure butt enhancements for GPU simulation and many more. Bottom line, we will continue to innovate and grow our fan base with Xbox while also creating additive business value for Microsoft.

i think that microsoft has an opening right now that they could exploit to sell appliance-like home servers as a platform-agnostic "personal cloud", which would let them get windows in there as the glue that binds disparate services and ecosystems together, but they're not smart enough to execute

the verge is also reporting it as "dropping" the devices focus. Nadella says "nothing is off the table in how we think about shifting our culture to deliver on this core strategy," While Nadella might be dropping the devices and services moniker, that won’t directly impact products like Xbox, Surface, and Windows Phone just yet. it's like that abusive boyfriend who will do ANYTHING for his girlfriend (except stop drinking)

the problem with selling home servers is that the stuff they're best for isn't things you can really talk about in an ad, it would probably cause some problems if MS was all "store your ripped DVDs and downloaded movies/TV in one place then stream them to any device" in an ad

I wonder how long you could get away with something like that before getting angry letters from Stallman and/or Torvalds.

PleasureKevin posted:if only there was some way to bring the existing cloud into the home... ? Now YOU control the cloud Not sure about the security and sharing options? Confused by the policy on data retention? Unsure about uploading your data to a server you can't actually see? No problem. Your Microsoft HomeCloud Server RT system belongs* to you, so you decide where your information goes and when. Local Cloud Means Fast Uploading content to any cloud sevice relies on the upload speed limits of your residential Internet connection, which are usually measured in tens of megabits per second and can fluctuate due to circumstances beyond your control. Transferring files to and from your Microsoft HomeCloud Server RT moves at lightning speed through your home, at speeds approaching 10,000 megabits per second. Local Cloud Means Free Your residential Internet connection may limit the amount of information you can transfer in a month, and even a modest cloud storage account can run you over this limit and incur heavy fees from your provider. Moving your files, music and media to or from your Microsoft HomeCloud Server RT system is absolutely 100% free to you**. Local Cloud Means Secure Microsoft Cloud Storage (TM) is secured with the best technology available, but there is still a small possibility that your passwords could be stolen by other insecure programs on your computer and used to access your data on our severs without your knowledge. Your Microsoft HomeCloud Server RT System sits safely inside your home, inaccessible to the Internet*** and secure**** from threats in a way that Internet-based services just can't allow. i can do this all day

whenever you're home any photos and video you've taken are quietly backed and, optionally, removed from the device. great for people with cheaper phones that have less storage. automatically pool and sort photos and poo poo across platforms. link branding to onedrive.

it would need to be a low-end device, not a full server solution. if the word "server" ever enters into the equation then it's all hosed up
