This will penetrate all remaining defences against business spionage

Can't see it happening...Microsoft would be risking all their eggs in the same basket.

Actually they are trailing behind in this trend. Apple does it like this since long time, imprisoning its customers in the closed and locked appleverse. Android is a closed OS. Amazon's Kindle is closed. Consoles more and more have moved for this way of gaming. Social networks. And of course the googleverse.

Let'S face it, it is the general trend: closed, remote controlled OS.

And their stubborness with W8 and 8.1 demonstrates that they have no intention to give it up.

I don't see it happening. Computers are heavily used in places where there is no reliable internet connection or where there is none at all.

I would disagree with that statement's conclusion. The lucrative market is the developed world, the business places , the economy and industry, the players in the developed countries, consumer households.

The occasional notebook you see in the centre of the Kalahari means nothing.

And you would not believe me in what god-forsaken places I have seen satellite telephones already in the early and mid-90s.

This is not the only joke, MS Exchange will be cloud-based from 1/2014 on.

Yes, all your precious eMails along with the managing tools for it will be in 'the cloud'. The NSA gave information on german companies to US ones since decades, so imagine what will happen now..
I just wonder which meds some US people take, to have that level of delusion ..

Our company just ordered the last Small business server with Exchange 2010 onboard, because there will be none after december 31st, 2013; the future Exchange 'server' will be completely cloud-based.

Same with Adobe b.t.w., you will now pay 4000 Dollars for the last complete suite version (CS6), and CS 7 will cost the same - annually. From 1/2014 on. You lend it temporarily, for this small price.

We are urgently searching for a replacement after the next 5 years, and I foresee golden times for Linux, and russian programmers and their software.

B.t.w. and a bit OT (lmao): LG TVs tell their company what you see, from inserted USB sticks, to streaming, to just watching ordinary programs. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technol...s-send-2815798

There is no privacy anymore. 'Brave new world' and '1984' - god you poor harmless authors had no idea of what was to come.

Android is closed?
Far from it.

Get used to hearing an updated voice (maybe Siri's?) quoting the oft-repeated and iconic line,
"I'm sorry, Dave, but I'm afraid I can't do that."

Besides, Bill Gates lied to me. He said that 256 kB or RAM should be enough to run any program

Not closed like "shut down", but closed like "cocooned, encapsuled". Maybe my wording was wrong!?
