Build 2015: Lots of ads on Windows, Office, and Azure … – ZDNet France

From our special correspondent in San Francisco – “Microsoft was founded by two developers” exclaims Satya Nadella on stage as soon as you sound ultra-low frequencies that accompanied the arrival of CEO for the opening of the annual conference of Microsoft, reserved for the developers.

5000 developers and over 200 journalists were present to understand strategies OS, Microsoft Office and Cloud, announced by Satya Nadella. (Source: ZDnet.fr)

5,000 of them had paid 2,500 dollars to be present Moscon Center in San Francisco, center
 Conference also used by the giants of Silicon Valley, and finger (demonstrations are many) Microsoft news. Starting with Windows 10.

“Windows
  10 is an OS built for mobility multi device “shall Satya enthusiasm
 Nadella. Microsoft’s goal is
  clear: become the first OS actor equip billion
 appliances, while form factor confused. The ambition of
 Microsoft is offering Windows 10 with a “unified platform”
 that drives not only the desktop, laptops or smartphones,
 but also Rasperry PI 2 and Holographic computers,
 ie HoloLens.

Windows 10, only one OS to control them all.

Microsoft’s secret to seamlessly run applications on such different platforms? A
  new Windows Store Windows application that distributes say
 ‘Universal’, ie that work on all devices with Windows 10, with the same binary file.

Specifically, it is the same
 application that will be available for a smartphone, a computer and
 HoloLens, as complicated as it may seem at first. And it is
  through the concept of ‘continuum’ that Microsoft hopes to take advantage of
 this innovation by connecting a smartphone on a touch screen and a
  Bluetooth keyboard, the user can work with Excel, installed on the
 smartphone, and deported on the computer screen, with the same features
  if the tool is installed on a desktop.

The iOS and Android applications brought on W10

But above all, with the
 Universal method for Windows Platform, Microsoft offers to all
 developers bring Web sites developed in HTML / CSS and
 .NET and Win32 applications on the Windows Store. Better, it will
 also the case for Android applications developed in JAVA / C ++ and,
 major feat, iOS applications developed in Objective C.

The idea?
  Attract developers operating in the Google and Apple ecosystem,
  encourage them to quickly bring users to layout
 Windows 10 their products and convince them to stay. Mostly it comes to enhancing the attractiveness of Windows Phone application that is sorely lacking. Still, Microsoft still remained discreet on how to “translate” those Android and iOS applications …

On this
 Focus, Joe Belfiore, VP of Microsoft OS, gave some tips see on stage set
  up by Microsoft on Windows 10 to push applications
 such as the “Suggested Application” function, crept into the menu
  Start the future OS.

Office 365 increasingly open

Office 365 now integrates via APIs, publishers services partners, such Docusign with electronic signature on a Word document or SAP which data are integrated on an Excel chart, Microsoft pushing delight to demonstrate on an iPad. Similarly, LinkedIn applications, Salesforce, or Uber are integrated directly to Outlook.

But Microsoft wants to go further as integration services to its traditional desktop bricks were they now online . The integration of various office tools to give Sway Graphs or an application ‘Portal’ which ‘extends beyond the Information Office applications to a unified interface “in the words of Satya Nadella.



Azure bigger than AWS and Google together

Azure side, two new products, data warehouse SQL Azure and Azure Lake Data Service provide an idea of ​​the potential of scalibilité reached by the Microsoft cloud. What give wings to Big Data projects on the Microsoft cloud.

SQL Azure data warehouse enables the integration of heterogeneous data (Hadoop, SAP, Oracle, and of course Dynamics), which the now poses frontal competitor AWS Redshift, Microsoft provides.

It is even across cloud services that Microsoft announces now have a punching power that exceeds that “Amazon and Google together “assures Scott Guthrie, the executive VP of Cloud and Microsoft business. 19 world regions are now “hyperscale” with Azure, Microsoft promises.

Microsoft by figures speak for themselves. The company claims more than 90,000 new users per month, the operation of 1.4 million SQL Azure databases, or 3 million Visual Studio developers Online subscribers. Enough to give a volume to what became Azure (over 500 updates in 12 months), and show the wealth of a “total platform” that allows to develop, test and bring into production applications , without worrying about capacity issues.

And to show that Azure is not only powerful but open, Satya Nadella had invited on stage Docker CEO Ben Golub, so that can say all the good that a company DNA thought Microsoft Linux.

“Microsoft is actively contributing to Docker Hub” Tool contribution Docker community, emphasized the character witness, noting in passing that the company is now managed perfectly well in the Azure-Mufti containerization even associated with Linux instances
