Yup sounds about right for a new version of Eclipse.
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?

If your app handles user data, then secure authentication should be one of your primary concerns. Identity management is a hard thing to do well, involving encryption, reset mechanisms, and other security measures. It's better than an unencrypted password column

But not by much:
Quote: In December, a sample app implementation for Microsoft Passport was published up on GitHub to demonstrate how this entire process works, including both the client and the server pieces. However, keep in mind that this Microsoft Passport sample is greatly simplified. It is not secure enough for a production environment
Oh Elephant! That's not going to end well.

We've previously wondered when Apple would join virtually everybody else in tech and start thinking seriously about creating a VR product. Mental note: invest in anti-nausea pills

Microsoft previews Azure Stack, a private cloud configuration which is actually public Azure in a box. Then you can tell people to get off of it
|
|

|

If I recall correctly you need something like a 1400 CPU server farm...so it will be a pretty big (and hot) box.
Basically this is for large companies naive enough to think that hosting their own servers will keep the spooks out of the data.
It won't.

Now Azure private cloud make sense. It was so illusion

Wow! So if I have four servers to host my system, now I can complicate it over by adding the Azure Stack layer...fascinating...

The company's official reason for this change is a little opaque

Microsoft and their threats.
They used to be nice to us.
I wonder what ultimately they're going to do to y'all once they feel they have sufficient victims to loose a few when they drop the bomb.
My windows 10 technical preview sat dormant on a forsaken laptop here in the shop.
I was Tib-ing (Acronis backup) my dev laptop so I grabbed the win 10 TP laptop and when I started it I was presented with:
c:\windows\system32\winload.exe is expired.
Ah ha.
That's a way to hook you into recurring revenue now huh.
I'll see my way out....

Already started. Bought a new laptop about a month ago. Day one, wiped the OS and installed Mint, and have been slowly learning my way around it.
And with JetBrains announcing a new C# IDE in the works, about the only thing I'll need a dedicated Win box for in the future might be the occasional game.

Like the assumption that the customer is always right?

By "feature" they mean Cortana as a whole, right?
