in order to increase hologram adoption and emphasize the ease of cross platform developments all hologram software will be called "windows apps"

legay touch apps will be windows apps for touch (two dimensional) and windows apps for desktop

Nadella makes his big hire:

http://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft/kurt-delbene-returns-to-microsoft-in-strategy-role-will-report-to-nadella/

He brings back Kurt Delbene to be in charge of strategy. He originally worked for MS, got laid off when Ballmer went crazy and the board demanded action, now he's back after fixing healthcare.gov.

installed Exchange Server 2010 SP3 on a server a few days ago. owa, activesync and remote desktop gateway didn't work afterwards because the sp3 update jacked with all the IIS server's ssl settings. quality stuff

also just saw an xbox commercial for halo/evolve where Invictus is read in the background. a poem about a man facing double amputation due to TB, entirely appropriate for vidjagames

it's not just windows that's hosed up

SQL server 2014 has a bug where if a table has no statistics because it's empty, if it's in a complicated query the whole thing will choke forever and your query will take 50 times as long as it needs to

mikkkroshaft said they can't fix it until SQL Server 2016
