Microsoft is going to push the cloud on the market - and the market will push back. Too many businesses, like mine, cannot afford the liability of letting someone else hold their (and their customers’) data.

Time to start getting a linux laptop prepped, I suspect.

here’s how cloud will/work.

you buy a pc with windows on it.

during delivery, nsa snags it and does whatever it wants to it.

then it finally arrives to you.

you send your data thru the ‘cloud’ which nsa taps into and snags a copy of your stuff and puts it out in its new datafarm in nevada. if it thinks it missed something nsa can always contact your isp.

oh yeah, FU-NSA.

Although Linux (Ubuntu) has a free cloud that you can noodle around with if you want.
