The cross-platform dimension plays a very important role with Windows 10. Microsoft wants to show the potential to develop code for the new OS juggling terminals. . While incorporating the changes in screen sizes

The ambitions are high: Microsoft wants to bring a billion terminals Business operating under Windows 10 by the beginning of fiscal year 2018

For an intense data mining, Microsoft has provided a warehouse Service databases in the cloud. SQL Azure Data Warehouse

In the extension, the publisher planned Azure Data Lake, a repository of content that is similar to an agile storage solution for high-volume data (known in petabytes.)

integration with services like Azure HDInsight (Apache Hadoop cloud service) Azure Machine Learning (predictive analytics service) solutions and third-party providers experts in big data like Cloudera and Hortonworks.

Microsoft has not forgotten its community of users to Office 365 (1.2 billion worldwide).

Through the new Office Connector Graph it will be possible to multiply the extensions (third party applications) directly integrated in the interface of Office 365. And that will be valid for users of iPad and those of Outlook.

A touch of ‘fun innovation to finish. Given the media attention, Microsoft has also surfed the intriguing HoloLens augmented reality technology that was introduced in January.

The demo with a beta tester with a headset in a salon for entertainment purposes remains bluffing (YouTube video).
