An interesting view, certainly. How would you respond to the question of business ethics? From an investor and human standpoint I certainly look at a companies ethics and conduct in earning a profit before I back them with financial support regardless of the potential returns.

But you are running an intel CPU and nv GPU. (sorry, just had to point that out)

Well M$ might be dreaming high up in the clouds, but it'll soon turn into a nightmare when the wake up and fall from the sky.

The cloud thing will come to pass soon

every one has been trying to market "the cloud" of things, yet serious not that many Large Businesses uses it, most businesses people are sceptical (translation Spies) and/or anti-cloud, because they don't trust their files and data outside of their own offices.

For the general Joes and Janes, 99% of them sticks with whatever FREE amount they were given, that's why M$ cut back from 5GB to 1GB or something like that in their "Free" cloud.
DropBox and Box.Net has been in this business waaaaaay before M$, Google, or Amazon started the catch-up game.
Yet Dropbox and Box.net are no were near as Successful as M$ dreams to be.

Google and Amazon got lucky due their current base
so M$ is just trying to follow the same train, but that train left the station a very long time ago.

I highly doubt OneDrive will ever surpass Google or Dropbox or Box.net, or all the other similar business out there.

Oh yeah, and IBM they started their catch up game 3 years ago, yet you hardly hear from the, and their stocks are not making a dent either.

It's an astute observation.
Indeed it is.

Unfortunately, I don't have the freedom to utilize vastly inferior products, as my PC's haven't been entertainment machines for nearly 6 years. I don't own stock (which is a long term loan to the company) or support their anti-competitive and borderline illegal activities. I am eagerly awaiting the release of zen, because if it is even remotely close to intel's single threaded performance I'll be dropping intel like the bad habit they are.

Maybe one day the Cuda to OpenCL compilations will be efficient enough, where I can drop Nvidia as well.

I agreee with this. Also, when you share you data with another company, you lose a lot of legal rights.

I stopped even using the free OneDrive storage space. I don't really want to be a part of a technology trend that erodes privacy rights, which legitimately harms people's safety in less free nations.

I work for a company that provide "aaS" as a solution to many customers. the only diffrence between smaller and larger companies is how much of "aaS" they want. For the bigger ones its all about Infastructure as a service. the smaller ones software as a service.

Cloud is happening and will continue to grow as data centers provide resillaince and flexibility that offices can never provide. And people are prepared to pay the outrages prices for it if they cant get the "free" version

Haters gonna hate! Judging by the opinions of many around here about how horrible MS and Windows are, i'd've thought they'd be near bankrupt by now!

Vista and 8 didn't kill them, so it's no surprise 10 hasn't.

Nor did Windows Me

And Vista was fine if you did not own an 8800GTX

(for real, the driver for that thing was unstable for at least 9 months.)

. As a kid, I couldn't tell the difference between those Windows versions except ME crash all the bloody time...

By the time the glorious XP came out, I finally understood more about OSs'.

People really poo on Vista, but it had a lot of great improvements. It's just that it was a bit too much more hardware at the time. Optimize it some more, add some refinements, wait for hardware to catch up a bit, and BAM, the great Windows 7 is born.

Didn't buy 8 or 8.1, my Windows 10 copy is from the W7 upgrade path.

W10 still has the issue of a lack of focus... not to mention all the privacy issues. It's also more buggy than all the other versions I used.... Take for instance when using nVidia DSR in games. When the game exits, all my desktop icons are re-arranged and the task bar quick launch icons are fuzzier from the rescaling going on.
