The centre of gravity may not have fully shifted yet, but it's moving. Big Windows, as many insiders have called it, will be replaced by Bigger Windows, one that works at cloud scale to deliver information and services to smart end points. Tomorrow's Microsoft will be built around Azure. That strategy means more and more collaboration between the different parts of the organisation as what were in the past standalone applications become services that are consumed by other services. To the cloud!

This sounds very much like going back to the good old days of time-sharing mainframes where you only had a terminal linked to a distant mainframe (often via an acoustic coupler). Yes, I am showing my age as I learned on one of these set-ups. Of course, interactive gaming back then meant an awful lot of typing and waiting.

- I vaguely remember having a good memory...
