Wow, the first day went on with a lot of new stuff announced in the cloud spaces and the cool part is that things are still coming.
Yesterday Ray Ozzie announced Windows Azure, a Serviced Based Operating Environment that is set to drive Microsoft Cloud strategy on and which is set to define the bar high for a lot of services that are already on the grow of demand.
A key changing strategy in Microsoft’s horizon
From distributed storage with SQL Data Services, access to Live Services, SharePoint and CRM to your own set of .NET Services; this platform was build to grow to internet sizes. Following Microsoft’s previous efforts in the personal and enterprise computing.
Build to scale and expand, Microsoft’s offering differentiate from any of its competitors by providing a set of tools that build on the maturity of C# and the Visual Studio tooling, enabling the wide range of Windows and Web developers out there to take advantage of Cloud services after a small curve of learning of the basics.
A foundation to extend
I am looking forward to today’s announcements. Even though Azure is a hint at what is coming in the years ahead, today Microsoft will announced their strategy into Mesh, the more personal approach to cloud services and the one who, avec Live Services, will help drive the more general consumer adoption of such models. Windows 7 looks like it’s taking shape quite fine and for the first time in this decade it seem Microsoft is getting its act together and set to execute.
PDC Keynote for today is just about to start, so I better head over there. Make sure you check out my live coverage from yesterday for a more descriptive view of what went on and wait for today’s.
Cheers!
