Wow! Started off with a bang with Paul Maritz said, “We are at the beginning of the end of the Windows era”. Well, from all the iPad’s, SmartPhones, tablets, and Macs roaming around this conference, I’d have to agree. Where does that leave Microsoft, I’m not sure, I know that for me personally, things I thought I needed in a laptop just don’t matter as much anymore. I want something light, fast, and fits in my pocket.
I started my IT career as a programmer, then moved into the Administrator role as time went on, I’m thinking it’s time I start to move back to the direction of programmer again. Not that I couldn’t get on to retirement doing what I’m doing, I’m just seeing applications are driving the cool stuff happening now, I don’t want to settle in and coast out.
What I’m seeing going on in the industry is what I saw, gosh, 25 years ago when the PC was making waves. End-users are doing it now with their personal devices, whether IT likes it or not. It’s exciting to watch and even more fun to part of it again, we’ve had some yawner years where everything was status quo, time to shake it up.
Let me know what you think.
