At IndiMix’10, the best part and perhaps the only thing that interested me was Steve Ballmer’s Keynote. Obviously, we could get know much more what the worlds 2nd Biggest Tech Giant [ 😉 ] is planning to do.
Steve went on to discuss the future of all products pointing towards just one keyword – CLOUD. Other web technologies like HTML5 and Silverlight are also focused on.
Almost all our key products are evolving towards cloud
Thats exactly true and you will get a glimpse of it with Microsoft Office 2010. Windows, Live, Xbox and almost everything they’ve got, they are probably risking it on the cloud. Someone said, Cloud would be all dum devices speaking to one cloud but Ballmer cleared it with a much better conceptual understanding. It’s Fusion of Internet, Enterprise Data Centre, TV, PC and everything digital. Clouds will create opportunities, No new servers and global deployment would be as easy as taking a hot bath.
Clouds over, now Bing. Bing is what they know of users and what they know of web. Now the most interesting part, they say 30 more Windows Phones will be launching next quarter, while last year they released 50 phones. Great, 30 phones in just one quarter? Raining Windows Phone 7!
Ballmer rolled a video too which caught our eyes, which shows technology of future and also what all you might expect from Microsoft in future. BTW I think the usage of Pen in touch devices is what Microsoft is betting on, almost all tablet type devices. The idea of courier is also somewhere in the video. Lookout!
