Re: SAP
SAP's cloud offerings have failed
HANA has turned out to be an expensive distraction.
All that's left is to screw their existing customer base.

I'm not sure Microsoft will be too concerned. Given what a pain it is to upgrade the OS on SQL Server or Exchange (hint: don't), they'd much rather you be paying monthly fees for Azure.
Personally, I'll be glad when I no longer need to RDP to Windows Server 2012. There's no start button and hovering in a corner of the screen isn't so easy with RDP.
What nobody wants to admit is that any decent Democratic candidate would have beaten Trump by a landslide. The only Democrat who would have done worse is Bernie Sanders.
On the other hand, any decent Republican would have beaten Clinton by a landslide.
If we get the politicians we deserve, the Americans have done something really bad!
Agh - someone had to mention sunlight visibility. Never a problem with my Lumia 1020. The magic on Windows Phone would automatically adjust the colours to improve the display. Worked really well.
Now I'm stuck with Android - can't believe it succeeded. If only MS marketing had removed their collected heads from their arses, we'd still have more OS choice.
What if it's not your electricity though? I have a website hosted on Azure. It's not especially busy. All I'd need to do is detect the number of current users. If nobody there, then thrash the living daylights out of the server.
Is there something available to do this? Could even setup a free shared instance and run it day and night.
I'd just like a laptop with a super screen like this, but running a lower powered CPU. Most of the time, I just need to connect to a server. Laptop work is limited to browsing and email.
Chrome laptop would be fine if it could just run Windows app (that's not going to happen!)
I like the separation of email, text, Slack etc etc. Means I can silo my communications between friends, business and specific customers. I certainly wouldn't want customers to know when I'm busy - my business is based around being available all the time.
First thing I do on a new phone is get rid of whatever overlay they've given me to combine everything (currently on BB so hub tweaked)
Perhaps the only time I'm happy with the current broken state of technology!
