for the record office document compatibility across platforms is actually pretty good and is a pillar of microsoft's office messaging strategy

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?

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

PleasureKevin posted: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. qirex posted:yeah they already tried this and it was a disaster because they were so afraid that small businesses would buy them instead of SBS they were completely hobbled then had features removed through updates, etc. i'll write up what i think could be a working strat later (emphasis on personal video and photo backup, privacy, etc. in a device that's boiled to the essentials with an appliance-like shell) i am definitely aware that thet've tried and hosed it up.

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

infernal machines posted:holy gently caress. are they still not unifying it for office 365 releases? Frequently asked questions Can I install Office 365 Home on my Mac? The applications available for Mac users and the version numbers may be different from those available for PC users. If you have an active Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, or Office 365 University subscription, and available installs, you can install Office on your Mac, which includes the Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook applications. OneNote for Mac is available as a separate download from the Mac App Store. The Publisher and Access applications are not available for Mac. Current Office application versions for Office 365 are Office 2013 for Windows and Office 2011 for Mac. Customers with an active subscription will be entitled to the newest versions when available.
