1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hey, It's time for Windows Weekly. It's the show that sticks in your brain like a Windows 10 nag screen.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ. The digitial jesuit in for Leo the Fourth who is currently, on a boat.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But of course, it's a special edition because we got Paul Thurott and Mary-Jo Foley, they are bringing the fire to Microsoft Ignite.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Uh, Mary-Jo, Paul, so good to see you, you're in some sort of?

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Mary-Jo: It's a connector.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Paul: It's a connector.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not sure what that means,at ome point you're going to have to tell me, but,

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You look good, you sound good, and it's nice to have you straight from one of the biggest microsoft events of the year.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Tell me, for the folks who haven't watched windows weekly, and are joining us for this show,

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What is Microsoft Ignite supposed to be?

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Paul: What is it supposed to be?

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What it is, is the biggest show in the world for IT hosts



13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
20,000 people

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Mary-Jo: 25

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-25,000 people, all of them crammed into this room
Off of a small hallway between two gigantic conference centers


16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Mary-Jo: It's the show for everything.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-It's like the show for all microsoft technologies.
Windows, sharepoint, (inaudible)...everything you would like in one show, no xbox.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fr. Ballecer) Wait, no xbox?

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There was a small bit of onedrive news this week, that justified my travelling here.


20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, every year at Ignite, we seem to be walking away with takeaways.
Things that you like the most.


21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You've had just a little bit of time and I understand
it was a late night because

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Mary Jo decided you need to try every craft beer in Atlanta,
But, what have been the big ticket items so far?

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Big Picture, I would almost say security.

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Yep, for sure.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Security, artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well the transformation of the cloud.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Right.
-Which is kind of ongoing.
-Definitely.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I feel like the messaging we hear is microsoft is all in, in the cloud.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All in on security.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All in on sharepoint. I have to keep going back to sharepoint.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- Who doesn't.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Everyone.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I know, security is pretty across the stack. When you think that its a big deal its not just high tech security


34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Not just server icloud security

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's security even in the fabric.

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Right, it's a hybrid.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The message was hybrid.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What microsoft means by hybrid cloud is a little more comprehensive than some of the other members.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I found a new way to get quite excited,
Hybrid is an activity, right?

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Oh, that would get her very agitated.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fr.) Has there been much talk about Windows 10, internet of things edition?

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No.
-No.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A little but not alot.

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Actually, there really hasn't been alot of windows 10

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There was obviously some security enhancements in the anniversary update, some coming things as well.

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Right.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Edge is getting some sort of security isolation technology.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That may or may not make it's way to other apps,

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Browsers.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- That was code named Barcelona. Did you know that?
- Now I do.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thats a really interesting feature because it's suppose to use containers in windows 10.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the browser to isolate possible malicious attacks, and be able to detonate those to the side.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, very interesting technology, something we'd heard rumored.

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I thought it might have been a previous version windows 10. Never made it, so its looking like red stone 2.

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Yea, Spring.
-Spring. "Whatever that means".

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Some of the news has been trickling back here from the day 1 keynote when Scott officially made the announcement that

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Windows 10 is now on 400 million devices. How solid of a number do you find that?

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course we've dropped down from the official target of a billion devices by the end of the year.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Will they make half a billion before the holiday season?

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thats interesting.
- I think so, do you?

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So at the current clip, no.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course you see a seasonal bump because of the holiday. It's possible.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They don't have that kind of a goal, right?

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They were talking about 1 billion active PC's by 2018.
-2018


65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's moved out a bit obviously since the original proclamation.

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Which I'm sure they regret.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But they do still plan and expect to get up to 1 billion active devices.

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
-Around that time or slightly later, perhaps.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They still are saying 1 billion, yes.

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Right, I would be surprised if they hit half a billion by the end of the year.

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Fr.) Would that count devices that have been upgraded then downloaded several times?

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Paul: Yea, that would get counted twice, ha ha!

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because, I've got like 15 devices on this laptop.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Actually it's interesting as you move from selling software to store

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Where you can say we shipped x number of these boxes

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
To counting something that seems a little more ebulous

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just monthly average users or in windows 10 case,

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
active devices.

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is actually an instance where this is a more meaningful real world number

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because it's instances of the op system running and being used actively.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's actual users,

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the past when ms used to sell 20 million in windows 7 licences a month.

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It was a real sale. It was something they could put down in the books.
