Don't stare at Windows8. Microsoft plays are cloud computing

Windows and Office are two of Microsoft's main sources of revenue, and Microsoft's multiple departments earn more than 1 billion dollars a year, including Xbox, SQL Server, System Center, Unified Communications, SharePoint, development tools, Dynamic, online advertising. But Microsoft is currently exploring a field that transcends Windows8, OFFICE15, and believes that this currently immature technology will be the hope of the future, and that is cloud computing.

"We are entering a new world in which not only every device is connected, each application is connected, but more importantly, each of us is connected," says Kevinturner, chief operating officer of Microsoft. The boundaries between work and life become blurred because lifestyles and patterns of work are increasingly connected. ”

Microsoft founder Bill Gates's desire is to let the PC into each family, which is obviously not enough for Microsoft, now the world's users are using 1 billion of computers. Microsoft has also transformed its grand blueprint, and according to Turner, Microsoft's new goal is to "connect everyone with cloud computing."

Turner stressed: "As a company, we have six values, one of which is to believe in ambitious goals, and for the next 20 years, our biggest goal is to each individual enterprise to provide sustainable cloud computing services." Yes, Microsoft has decided that we have to step into an era of intelligent cloud computing and smart device conversations, and that's where we're headed. ”

In fact, Microsoft currently offers a variety of cloud computing services for home users and corporate customers, such as windowsazure cloud computing platforms, Azure, and host-version exchange, SharePoint, and Communications solutions. At the same time, at the time of Office2010 release, Microsoft also launched an online version: Officewebapps, its data services provided by the windowsliveskydrive, providing ordinary consumers with the opportunity to embrace the cloud.

It looks like the rest of Microsoft is just warming up and the next 20 years is going to wait and see what kind of cloud computing era will Microsoft lead us into?
