rd ram was stupid (mostly because of the licensing cost because the rambus consortium is dumb as heck) but if I remember right dual-channel sdram chipsets came out soon after and it made the memory bandwidth problems moot

you mean like Windows Home Server? they did that with at least 5 hardware partners already. i believe i remember commercials for it too. anyway, it's dead now.

but really? a personal cloud? what's the value prop here? the ROI?

nil

the selling point is "your own personal cloud at home", and it'll show someone on a Microsoft Surface RT and someone on a Windows 8 Laptop Product working side by each on a spreadsheet in the livingroom while a small dog bounces at their feet

idiots will see it and say "yes i like cloud storage and i like being at home"

if only there was some way to bring the existing cloud into the home... ?

is it as much fun to "be your own cloud" as it is to "be your own bank"? weird that it takes less GPUs to run your own loving cloud...

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.

thing is metro can almost work. minus metro apps, or have desktop/metro as one with a button to switch?

the start button does this now kind of but yeah the two interfaces either need to be unified or reduced to one in a mostly-irrevocable gently caress you kind of way, like what windows 95 did to the cli


babby clown no-feature garbage UIs work great on the phones that inspired metro ui but on the desktop there is literally zero reason for it, just like there's no reason for a metro program to monopolize the entire screen when i launch it
