OMG, I LOL.

The Microsoft press releases go like this. It's the same every time.

Month 0: "We will change the orbit of the sun and the moon.
We will do big things. Expected price $159.95."

Month 6: "First alpha is back. Developers have managed to
move the mouse cursor around the screen. Significant
progress could happen at any time."

Month 12: "The preview is ready. It turned out we couldn't
quite manage to change the orbit of the sun or the
moon. Instead, we made the colors of Outlook more
bland, knowing how much that ****es off customers.
Expected upgrade price of the new OS is $15.95.
Expect your favorite deck chairs to be moved around again."

I notice they mention "Cloud integration". I presume the next
Windows OS will be called "Windows NSA" or "Windows Bluffdale",
as Bluffdale is where the next NSA data warehousing project it located.

As far as I'm concerned, "the Cloud is Dead" as a concept.
Any OS that only has a Microsoft Account, and no local account,
is dead as far as I'm concerned. I hope they keep that in mind.

Don't hold your breath.

I will never place data in the "Cloud". It is my data to do with as I
wish, not what some computer company wants to do to make more money. I
have a perfect security system on my computer. I turn it off when I am
not using it.

If I wish to share a file with someone I either email it of cut it to a
CD and send it to them.
