I read about 8-10 “IT press” articles about Nadella yesterday, and a few are looking for the controversy – usual for any media reporting, I suppose.
Additionally, it’s ramping up significantly in areas that Anthony identified as “the future” (e.g. cloud-based products/services) As I read it, Nadella’s roles over the past few years have been achieving exactly that. To use the acronyms - PaaS, IaaS and SaaS. Equally interesting is his emphasis (in all the snippets of interviews that I have seen) on devices. And I don’t believe that he is defing devices as narrowly as tablets and phones, Surface and Windows Phone. _____ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of David Connors Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2014 6:50 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Today was very quiet on ozdotnet ...

I don't think we'll be seeing any more monkey boy dances, that's for sure.
