Wow, my head is swimming — Microsoft’s Mesh is much bigger than I expected. I just got a look at Microsoft’s Mesh, but had to agree not to talk about it until 9 p.m. tonight. You’ll want to check in tonight. I hear Channel 9 will have a bunch of videos up about it. More to say at 9 p.m. Pacific Time tonight.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

With the feature-set of upcoming Fedora 9, SUSE 11 and ver 8 of U/Kubuntu, they better make Windows 7 hecko interesting. Linux has come of age, minus games, the masses can now live with a basic Fedora 8 KDE 3.5 install and that will really zam up once OpenOffice hits 3. Not that I am under any Linux-weenie lucid-dreaming illusions about a Microsoft-free world (though that’s increasingly more possible), but Vista sure was a letdown, though kinda looks pretty, Aeroified in that re-skin Mac-copycat way about it.
I predict even SP1 won’t have a corporate impact, and the switchover will be in 7, so they will have to accelerate the push, shaving off a year or so, and sex-it-up early, starting now, which is what this announcement amounts to, Longhornish PDC 2003 era hype.

Mesh is cool. I predict the initial recation will the the usual “Blitzbop.com has been doing this for 37 years so no news here…” That’s fine. But for those who pay attention you’ll see that Microsoft is re-thinking how software platforms should work. No, it’s not a Google killer, nor is it intended to be. It’s just the basis for a whole new breed of killer apps.

No way, Apple has embraced the Internet and has nothing to worry about, they have their own search engine and Add program in place and are already competing with Google and will not fall by the wayside or an eventual take over target by Google.
They have clearly embraced cloud computing and have moved away from the proprietary combination of software and hardware that is considered obsolete in this day and age.
Thy will not make the same mistake again by ignoring a fast emerging market in the way that they blew their chance at the enterprise market.
Please… are you serious?

@Joe – are you joking? Apple is poised to become the next Sony – the king of consumer electronics. If you look at end-user usage on Apple’s, they use Apple for music/pictures/music, they still use Microsoft Office for Mac, and then everything else is done online with Google. Because they’re positioned at the high-end of PCs they’ll be the last to get hurt by Google’s growth or by Open Source’s growth, but they will become increasingly marginalized as we do less & less on the device and more and more in the cloud.

I’m a fan of some things Apple.. but not all and I don’t turn a blind eye to serious flaws in some of their products.
Vista had some hiccups at launch as expected. something that seems inevitable with such a large user base.
But the product has come along nicely for the most part, No real security issues and very stable. and dare I say even more secure than Mac OSX.
There’s a big double standard and lack of objectivity
in the tech pundit world.
But then again I’m a user of the product and I don’t try to generate traffic with controversy.
