When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella first took the job in 2014, it wasn't long before he unveiled a new guiding mantra, encompassing his new vision for the company: "mobile first, cloud first."
That mantra was a big departure for Microsoft — it had spent the last several decades pushing Windows above all else, while Windows market share languished and the Windows phone business failed to get any kind of significant traction. Nadella was declaring his intention to build applications that work across all platforms, not just Microsoft's.
Now, at the Microsoft Build 2017 event this week in Seattle, Nadella unveiled a new "worldview" for the company, to reflect the latest developments in the tech industry. Now, at Microsoft, the watchword is "intelligent cloud."
"It's no longer just mobile-first," says Nadella. "The user experience itself is going to span all your devices."
In plainer terms, Nadella says that "intelligent cloud" simply refers to Microsoft's drive to build artificial intelligence into all its apps and services. The goal is to make sure that whether you're on a PC, a mobile app, or using a smart voice assistant, all your data and information is with you.
"The platform shift is all about data," says Nadella.
...
Still, "intelligent cloud" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, or the same clarity, as "mobile first, cloud first." It'll be interesting to see how this message resonates with the rest of the world.

I know, this is not strictly a “Windows” topic, but it’s close enough I thought y’all might find it worthy of comment.
As Satya's first language is not English, I'll forgive him his minor mistake:
The goal is to make sure that whether you're on a PC, a mobile app, or using a smart voice assistant, all your data and information is with you US.
Or...”with CIA and NSA.”
Real artifical intelligence will not be created on purpose. It will be on accident and I think it will be like “Neal Asher’s” polity universe.
Is that like a brain cloud?
Indeed.
I have considered them to be one and the same for years.

“Be seeing you”
Just as the new televisions watch you.
And the latest copyright scheme from Hollyweird has your player communicating with the disc, communicating with the monitor/tv to determine if it is OK to playback the video.

Hollywood has never gotten over the butthurt of losing the Sony Betamax decision.
It would be wonderful if they could just make the crap they publish now work consistently. I’d be happy with that.
Exaclty,
I have no problem with technology, it offers great convenience and benefits,
But if folks don’t believe this is ultimately headed toward a total NWO managed corrupt government surveillance state, they or their children will wake up one day in chains,
All is needed is another demonic obama type creature for president and he would imprison us all before noon and then go off to play another round of golf,
