Also, the article says that only 32bit Windows apps will run on Windows ARM, not real Windows apps.

What's a real Windows app? Most people I know running local Office still run the 32 bit version.

One that doesn't require emulation to run. Windows is 64 bit. It's a 64 OS. Apps for that OS.

@scottalanmiller Yes, affecting effectively their wallet.

A favourite from a long time ago in a paper far far away

Sadly they did not manage to stop this awful law. One of the things probably making them question their EU membership in hindsight, though.

Could be interesting.

I remember sitting with a Broadcloud rep 18 months ago and they were worried about how SFB on Office 365 would affect their business. Still find it amusing that we took it as a serious threat.

I still have a lot of hope for FusionPBX and some other open source products as well.

The implementation of an Azure Stack would be something to get our heads around for the time being.

Hopefully it is better than the actual Azure system!

It is Azure, same thing, but you have a physical node on-prem. You pay for the hardware, and you get Azure a little cheaper, but it's fully managed by them.

It's really only for remote places with bad bandwidth imho.

Think like, needing cloud from an 18-wheeler in a remote location.

This sounds like a crappy version of the AWS Snowball

Completely different.

This is like making your portion of the AWS cloud in-house, including the entire AWS stack.

Again, not too useful unless you are trying to bring the cloud to a remote location to avoid excessive latency or to somewhere the internet doesn't exist... like linking it to a satellite connection during a disaster or something.

There are other real uses, but that would be for bigger enterprises... for most SMBs, Azure Stack would never be a consideration.

Nowadays they wouldn't get away on this. Maybe Troy Hunt will say something 😛

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

Kind of interesting, handy to have a simple way to get real RHEL, I guess.

@tim_g I thought about it but have never used one so I was hesitant to purchase even though they are "cheap".

I would love to do daily driver stuff on Linux but every time I read on ML, I want to try a different OS. Seems as if there is a new favorite flavor every week....like Korora was for a while.

Korora is nice but there distro releases is slow. You will always be one version behind Fedora. That's my biggest reason to stick with Fedora instead.

Yeah, that killed it for a lot of us.
