"Here's a look at the six core themes that emerged at Microsoft Build including Windows relevance, Azure, Dynamics 365, user experience and digital transformation."
IMO, reports of Windows' irrelevance are highly exaggerated. YMMV.

Is Windows still relevant? ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I am seriously looking at various Linux flavors. The drive to a cloud-based, service (at a cost) O/S where the security of my data is at the hands of others is a serious issue for me.

You have to squint a bit to find a smartphone in that mix.

It is in a prominent place near the top, connected to the broken heart from the 'dear John' text and the Google Maps marker to find a bar to drown your sorrows. One could actually write a novel following the icons around. Starting at the upper left, after a night of heated passion, he gave her a key to his place. But it was followed by a broken heart. Then the search for new love....

Businesses aren’t moving off of the Windows platform anytime soon.

MS problem is corperate leadership that have no vision or clue what MS does (or computers do)

even experts do not want to admit the cloud is just a remote server. (that is totally hackable)

People miss this so much, but Microsoft is SO MUCH more than a desktop and desktop apps and programs. So much more.

I’m doing datacenter, data management, system center, and now Azure Stack, which brings the cloud into the datacenter.

I’m working with Nano Server, Windows Containers Desired Configuration State/PowerShell and Docker.

Microsoft itself is moving more and more content and scripts of all kinds over to GetHub. It really is becoming a Heterogeneous world. Lots of Linux integration. They’re even offering Azure/Linux certifications.

I love Apple products, but face it, Apple is all about consumers and Microsoft is focused on business. There is lots of synergy here as well. Both companies should work together here.

I’m enjoying the HECK out of all the new stuff and ways to do things.

NOT a Build (Dev) guy. See me at Ignite (IT Pro)!

Windows 10 + Office 365 + One drive (cloud) = Future

The global business base in place will accept the combo and go forward.
