hmmmm, #1, #2, #3, #4, #6, #7, #10, #13, #14, #15 have been around for eons (in computer terms) in one form or another. Nothing really new there.
#5? WTF is he talking about?!!? PaaS is about Amazon, Google, Azure, and other such platform providers, not some wonky customizable website, that would be Waas or SaaS (Software as a Service).
#7 App Containers have been around for a long time too, since early nineties at least. Of course, this is the first time they've been applied to web server farms. Good idea that should have been done a long time ago. The tools were already there.
#8 hmm. Also old-is-new again. Automated Data Processing (ADS), Prime, AOL are all instances of this "old" tech. Yay! It's been reborn and rebranded.
#9 this is cool
#11 This is similar in nature to #5 & #7, what's so damn new about VMs? Oh, it's because my dentist neighbor now knows what they are.
#13 Microsoft SMS or Novell Zenworks anyone? or IBM's similar product?
#14 SourceForge has been around for at least as long as the web.

Even by infoworld's normal wretchedly low standards; that's pathetic.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft's plan to integrate its Cortana digital assistant technology into Windows Threshold is looking more likely, according to a new report. Great. Now when you complain to your computer, it will talk back

Why? Too much junk in the trunk. All the way down to 52% of the internet. Dooooooooomed!
Sure, n% of them are WordPress sites that haven't been updated in years, but they still exist.

Can anyone in the peanut gallery tell me if this is worth looking at from home? My employer's firewall has broken ReadWrite for the last month or so...

Actually I never used PHP, so I think I don't have any right to criticize this PHP programming language. But since Microsoft's ASP.NET using C# and VB.NET have been public and more and more tutorials and developers are taking interest in it, the PHP is always moving into the stack of stake.
Since more and more tutorial are being written for ASP.NET, a great and managed code library is provided for ASP.NET more developers are taking interest in ASP.NET, PHP is an old language, I never used so I can't say whether it is a good or a bad one, but I have never used PHP I have got some friends who do PHP. But they also believe ASP.NET is better than PHP, however wordpress is a great blogging service and I am not a wordpress developer only because of PHP. I don't think I have got time to change the language, also, in the current CodeProject current Poll, I have voted for C#, so it shows almost 70% of the web developers like C# and remaining include the others.
There are many ASP.NET sub categories which use C# as the main programming language, only ASP.NET has MVC, Web Pages, Web Forms etc. Just wonder what wonder might C# itself would build.

I occasionally get called on to create small websites...usually I install Joomla on Linux hosting because that's the best bang for the buck...Joomla is entirely written in PHP with tons of community developed plugins also written in PHP...it's a whole eco-system that has done nothing but grow.
I know my way around PHP...occasionally I have to tweak or create a plugin for it...it's not my favourite programming language but it has an almost unbeatable combination of free stuff running on cheaper Linux hosting that is very hard to beat.

100% in agreement. Very unlikely this beast will be slain anytime soon. The RoR and Node.js folk don't seem to believe in CMS systems ("Just create it again from scratch"), and there really isn't a comparable ASP.NET CMS worth installing.[1]
[1] Yes, I know of Umbraco, Orchard, and DotNetNuke. Umbraco I'll put on the 'maybe' shelf, but when compared to WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, ExpressionEngine, etc (very etc.) they're neither as easy to install, nor as complete/extensible. Plus the usual hosting price differences between Windows and Linux just make it worse.

Yep, agreed...been down the Umbraco/Orchard/DotNetNuke road...nowhere near the maturity of their LAMP counterparts...all the available site templates alone are worth the hassle of wrestling with the occasional PHP code.

ever heard of ADX Studio[^]? Clearly not. It's damn good. And is very comparable[^] to Joomla.

Maybe you can link to the product you're referring to then, since both the ones I can find on their site specifically say they're for Dynamics.

hmmm. It wasn't that way when I was using it a few years ago. Hmmm, I take it back.

As Jadooti says below. A requirement for Dynamics definitely puts it kind of out of comparison with WordPress et al

?! Then why do they call it Adxstudio Portals for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and have Quote: Supercharge Microsoft Dynamics CRM into a web-based sales, services, support & social engagement application platform
on that page? If it doesn't need CRM, they're doing a pi... poor job at marketing it.
Either way, at $595/month (or $10K/org), it would pay for a lot of WordPress/Joomla/whatnot customization.
