Finally installed Win 8.1 Update, I liked Win 8.1 as it was, not sure this 'update' is really much of an improvement

Just had an email which has really made my day, can't say too much yet but big changes are coming to the farm!

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis and I'll be milking cows :)

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis why? we currently have a choice, Azure, AWS & the others compete for customers on price and feature set

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis An interesting point of view, but they've invested billions in their data centres, so they already have the infra-structure

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis I'm sure Office for iPad will be very popular, but I'm equally sceptical about how many will edit a big spreadsheet using it

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis I couldn't ever see MS running the likes of Bing, Office 365 etc. on anything but their own infra-structure

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis Surface is well designed, Xbox has been a success so I'm not sure others (except Apple) are better at it

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis I think Azure has a healthy future, all of MS own services run on it plus they have a lot of customers already using it

[Richard Isaac @convallis]

@JohnWLewis I think Windows is one product amongst many, like Office, but the future for Microsoft is actually Azure and Office 365
