Ballecer) Wait, no xbox? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 There was a small bit of onedrive news this week, that justified my travelling here.[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Now, every year at Ignite, we seem to be walking away with takeaways.[br]Things that you like the most.[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 You've had just a little bit of time and I understand[br]it was a late night because 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Mary Jo decided you need to try every craft beer in Atlanta,[br]But, what have been the big ticket items so far? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Big Picture, I would almost say security. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 -Yep, for sure. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Security, artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Well the transformation of the cloud. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 -Right.[br]-Which is kind of ongoing.[br]-Definitely. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I feel like the messaging we hear is microsoft is all in, in the cloud. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All in on security. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All in on sharepoint. I have to keep going back to sharepoint. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 - Who doesn't. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 -Everyone. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I know, security is pretty across the stack. When you think that its a big deal its not just high tech security[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Not just server icloud security 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It's security even in the fabric. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Right, it's a hybrid. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The message was hybrid. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What microsoft means by hybrid cloud is a little more comprehensive than some of the other members. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I found a new way to get quite excited,[br]Hybrid is an activity, right? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 -Oh, that would get her very agitated. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Fr.) Has there been much talk about Windows 10, internet of things edition? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 No.[br]-No. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 A little but not alot. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Actually, there really hasn't been alot of windows 10 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 There was obviously some security enhancements in the anniversary update, some coming things as well. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 -Right. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Edge is getting some sort of security isolation technology. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 That may or may not make it's way to other apps, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Browsers. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 - That was code named Barcelona. Did you know that?[br]- Now I do. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Thats a really interesting feature because it's suppose to use containers in windows 10. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In the browser to isolate possible malicious attacks, and be able to detonate those to the side. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So, very interesting technology, something we'd heard rumored. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I thought it might have been a previous version windows 10. Never made it, so its looking like red stone 2. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 -Yea, Spring.[br]-Spring. "Whatever that means". 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Some of the news has been trickling back here from the day 1 keynote when Scott officially made the announcement that 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Windows 10 is now on 400 million devices. How solid of a number do you find that? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Of course we've dropped down from the official target of a billion devices by the end of the year. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Will they make half a billion before the holiday season? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Thats interesting.[br]- I think so, do you? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So at the current clip, no. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Of course you see a seasonal bump because of the holiday. It's possible. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They don't have that kind of a goal, right? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They were talking about 1 billion active PC's by 2018.[br]-2018[br] 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 That's moved out a bit obviously since the original proclamation. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Which I'm sure they regret. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But they do still plan and expect to get up to 1 billion active devices. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 -Around that time or slightly later, perhaps. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They still are saying 1 billion, yes. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Right, I would be surprised if they hit half a billion by the end of the year. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Fr.) Would that count devices that have been upgraded then downloaded several times? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Paul: Yea, that would get counted twice, ha ha! 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because, I've got like 15 devices on this laptop. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Actually it's interesting as you move from selling software to store 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Where you can say we shipped x number of these boxes 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 To counting something that seems a little more ebulous 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Just monthly average users or in windows 10 case, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 active devices. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is actually an instance where this is a more meaningful real world number 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because it's instances of the op system running and being used actively. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It's actual users, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In the past when ms used to sell 20 million in windows 7 licences a month. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It was a real sale. It was something they could put down in the books.
