Clouds around the Office 365

Interestingly, what the readers know of my articles? . If you ask yourself this question - nothing to write is, in principle, does not work.
Banned, but still interesting....

I personally know of many publications are not very many, and from the enterprise (such as press release ) - with a very large value of the interest - almost anything.

Last week, the MS held a press meeting with the announcement of the launch of the Russia Office 365. So it was said in the invitation.

The point was to take place in a restaurant ( it was very stylish, the restaurant was called ' clouds '), and it was crucial not to go there: the experience clearly indicates that the ' coolness ' activities and its contents in the sum always constitute a . The lower the ' coolness ', the more content... well, and vice versa.

But still running Office 365 - is it important. I believe ( and not only virtually all experts familiar clouds), and that it was the beginning of the actual activity of MS in the field of the cloud will be a powerful catalyst for the entire cloud process in Russia.

Nevertheless, it is still not gone - there were other urgent business.

In the morning I was called by a journalist friend, who asked to enter it in the course of the case - as there will be a speech and to be prepared mentally than. I made ​​the assumption, which, incidentally, was justified by almost 100 %.

Okay, I read a press release about the event (. http://www. microsoft. com / rus / newscenter / news / read /? id = post/2011/04/20/office365. aspx. ). I see there is only one meaningful phrase (well, that the very first ):.

'Microsoft intends to launch a new cloud solution Office 365 before the end of 2011 in partnership with the companies ' Archive 'and' SKB Kontur ...

a. With MS, finally solved at the beginning of promoting their online business services in Russia. However, the word ' intend ' readily admits the possibility of retreat (this is already held ).
2. The first point, however, is not very interesting - where they go. But the emergence of a qualitatively new partners of persons - it is really interesting and gives food for thought.

But everything else - it is not clear. It is unclear, including the fact - why suddenly decided to gather journalists, and even in the restaurant ( it reflects the representation of vendors on the importance of the event)?.

I realized from the American press release and articles of my colleagues:. http://www. pcweek. ru / its / article / detail. php? ID = 131017. MS Office launched the 365 in combat beta- testing, and announced the start dates for productive work - in the new fiscal year after July 1,. True, Russia was among the participants ' first wave ' is not present.
The event really for the IT world importance, and its reverberations have been sounded in Moscow. What has happened.
But only something like ' I hear a bell, but I do not know.... '.

Read the press release and article and could not understand - what is Office 365, how it will look like in nature.

I must say that when MS was first announced plans to release Office 365 (it was in last October ), I also almost did not understand. I had to spend the whole study ( why?) To clarify something for myself (. http://www. pcweek. ru / themes / detail. php? ID = 126049. ).

And now all forgotten, will explore the question in the new.
