That can’t possibly be a message intended for passengers….

@KatieDNorton1 Love the biggest grin on the biggest kid in the frozen ride pic!

@KatieDNorton1 I sure hope it's from excessive excitement or overeating, and not something more impactful!

Microsoft 365 Copilot looks really interesting, and potentially a real time saver. However, it depends upon customers being (and remaining) a committed Microsoft shop. Competitors may find this to be challenging for them.

Microsoft 365 Copilot announced... sounds like this is the second of many uses of the term copilot within Microsoft's portfolio. @MSFTnews

My colleagues @ngohring & @LCNC_DevTools will present a Webinar Wednesday 3/15 on using low-code tools to build and deliver innovative SW; how to get more out of LC tools; and move beyond simple automation to reach real BV. Free, but reg required. bit.ly/3I7ASCt

And here is my colleague @JimBMercer presenting on DevOps and DevSecOps at #IDC #Directions.

Rick Villars introduces the notion of “cloud application platforms,” the centerpiece of my team’s new program run by @brijeshkmr86 and Lara Greden.

#IDCDirections underway in Boston with a full room watching @meredithwhalen present. #IDC

Really insightful Webinar titled "How to Use Low-Code Developer Technologies Like a Mature Digital Innovator" put on by my @IDC colleagues @LCNC_DevTools and @ngohring on March 15 at noon U.S. Eastern. Free to attend; reg is required here: goto.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?…

Is it OK for me to say, "Whew, FINALLY?" Funny how the tech industry has a way of forcing bitter rivals into partners over time. This is a smart move for both companies - they have a lot of shared customers. redhat.com/en/about/press…

#MSFT Q2 FY23 ... currency headwinds remain; perf of Productivity and Business Process, Intelligent Cloud reasonably good. More Personal Computing, on the other hand, offset gains in other biz @ 19% down actual (-6% c-currency). Overall rev up by 2%. microsoft.com/en-us/Investor…

#MSFT's news of 10,000 job cuts will be better understood when we see Q2 results. MSFT is coming off of 5 years of incredible growth; my guess is this is more about re-balancing staffing for the next round of opportunities,than a pure cost reduction move. blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/01/1…

@rvobrien @matteastwood @bernardgolden @the_spinmd @the_spinmd - it’s gonna cost you a lunch to learn more about the 750M apps. ;)

@matteastwood @bernardgolden @algillen Very fascinating #cloud prediction, I am interested in this as well. FYI @the_spinmd

@matteastwood saw a note in a blogpost showing slide with IDC prediction of 750 million new cloud apps by CY2025, citing doc US48441921. Has IDC published anything publicly accessible describing this analysis? Would like to discuss in upcoming article. Thx.

@KatieDNorton1 My fav prediction in our FutureScape is #1: "By 2027, AI will dramatically increase developer velocity by automatically generating code to meet functional business requirements for 80% of new digital solutions in development and early deployment." #8 is my 2nd fav!

#MSFT Q1FY23 results show the growth again muted by currency exchange rate headwinds, with a 6-7% negative impact. Despite that, growth was 10.6% and +$4.8B year over year. A lot of software companies would love to see their business grow by $4.8B for one quarter y-over-y.

At #ocw22, the company's multicloud strategy is front and center. Strategy itself is good, first implementation is the #Azure - #OCI connection. Bidirectionality will follow. But the name itself may be wrong. This is "intercloud" computing more than multicloud computing.
