Cool developments for Microsoft Online Services (MOS).
Through a partnership with Hewlett-Packard’s EDS division, Microsoft will gain access to data center capacity around the world that will enable it to deliver its cloud-based Exchange, SharePoint and Business Productivity Online Suite. (channelinsider)
From my experience the greatest benefit of this is that governement and corporate clients will not have their data subjected to the Patriot Act.
Discounts are always good. I still want to know haw MOS plan to deal with Extranet and Web Content management sceanrios with their SharePoint offering.
On a persoanl note. I’m still a little sore with MOS because they didn’t want to hire me :-) but that is my problem.
Jakob Burghardt of Flashbulb Interaction gave this presentation for Puget Sound SIGCHI on April 23 at Google’s Fremont office in Seattle. It certainily provided a lot to think about I’ll be interested in seeing how these ideas evolve.
I find it kinda offensive. Dev-igner is a term I hear throw around quite a bit. I mean I completely agree that designers need to improve their understanding of how the applications are built along with concepts like performance, security, scalibilty… you know FURPS.
I resent this notion because I feel that this is not a two way street. Personally i’d like to see more Test-elopers so I wouldn’t have to log bugs :-)
