This marks a milestone in delivering new value for Office 365 subscribers with a focus on collaboration, apps that work for you, a perfect pairing with Windows 10, and security features businesses will love. "Meet the new boss..."
Incentivize the collaborative paradigm!
I've been using it for a while, and I've seen all of one feature that wasn't in the previous version.

I'm betting the only one is the right-click menu. And the only options there are Show Ribbon | Hide Ribbon | Customize Ribbon.

Hopefully they'll fix the crashiness of Excel 2013...should have stayed with 2010.

Quote: Skype for Business is now available in the client apps, allowing you to IM, screen share, talk or video chat right in your docs. This same experience will be coming to Office Online later this fall. Skype for Business also has faster screen sharing and now adds the option to start a real-time co-authoring session from any conversation or meeting.
So did they just slap a Skype skin on Lync; or did they reinvent the wheel? If the latter, I hope the PHBs running it were smart enough to realize that a lot of thier current Lync customers won't accept a solution that's only available with a backend on MS owned servers instead of in house ones, and have planned accordingly.

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?

Skype for Business is just Lync with new underoos. And of course a separate code base from Skype for non-business.
Really? Your help desk blocks sharing sites?  Why don't they just block file shares (or even files) while they're at it? Sending from OneDrive is the only new feature I've seen in the new Oriface.

I suspect file share sites are blocked as a data loss prevention move; easier to blacklist the entire domain than just block upload pages/etc. Internal file share's aren't a source of that risk.
An external Share(d)Point(OfFailure) is our baseline for sending/receiving files to big to email. I suspect if there was a business need (read a client refusing to use our sharepoint and insisting on dropbox/etc) I could get an exception (just for my user account) without too much difficulty beyond the standard burrocratic overhead. Probably as narrowly defined as possible. eg only www.ShareSite.tld/users/thecustomer/ if possible.

I can definitely see the end of the traditional programmer. With Entity Framework, we see that through a wizard that a complete domain layer based off of a database or vice versa can be created. Let’s say that Microsoft created a user interface where you could take a spreadsheet and each spreadsheet tab represented domain logic. Once uploaded, a wizard could then create the domain layer, database, and create web pages from that. In fact, they probably have something now in house, that we don’t know about.
I can see a time when business analysts, programmers, and project managers are fighting for the same jobs.
Just like we’ve already seen in industries like automobiles, textiles, or even farming, there will be a time when there are too many workers and those who survive will earn much less than their ancestors. My guess is that nursing will be the next major sector hit once the baby boomers have past. And the Computer Science degrees of the future will be more geared towards math and analytics than code and computer architecture.

We ruled, we do, we will! We are the ones people talk about when they jokingly say, "friends in high places". We are not going anywhere!
It is just the script kiddies, the one who have no idea of programming, who know which button to click to hack a Facebook account. They are something we should worry about.
BTW, your code is somewhat Java and C++ oriented. What is that you want to do?

Several years ago I was hanging with a good friend of mine when I got on this kick about "...but if you could write a PROGRAM to do that..." for about 24 hours straight.
She and I finally decided on our list of things that we would never want machines to do for us because that would dehumanize us. I think we came up with, in no particular order:
- Cooking
- Gardening
- Sex
- Writing
- Drawing
- Composing
- Acting
Another good programmer friend/colleague of mine that I met doing some Expert Systems work used to always talk about working on "button that code itself" and "self-coding code"... Maybe if he's done with those yet we can all start on our own lists...
