It’s a post Windows World now....
Sounds to me like another step towards MSFT offering “Windows as a Service.”
dayglored, you’re right, MSFT seems to be thrashing around, looking for the next money maker. Do they even have a business plan?
There is literally nothing I do anymore that requires Microsoft. Linux is a fine OS. OpenOffice/Libre Office and other MS Office alternatives are available and do fine jobs.
eMail clients, email services, calendaring services, cloud hosting services, etc.. are a dime a dozen these days, don't need Microsoft for any of that either. I know enough Linux to last a lifetime, I can damn' sure move my media, calendaring and home automation stuff over to Linux pretty easily and say goodbye to Microsoft in a weekend.
FU Microsoft!

I'm just gonna mash the accelerator to the floor this year, change some objectives, re-write some goals and make sure my people move your crap out of our data center.
Oh, our enterprise licensing costs? We're going to save upwards of $20mm getting rid of you. I'm gonna be a FREAKING HERO when you're gone.

Windows RT? Microsoft hacked the election?
