Final Four Here We Come!
Show Notes:
Hour 1
It has been a long time since we had the opportunity to spend some time with the once indomitable digital brand that n0w finds itself in a rapidly changing digital world. Today our entire first hour is dedicated to catching up with the Redmond giant and finding out what is shaking.
We are delighted to bring back Dave Sawyer, Technical Director, Heartland Microsoft Technology Center to help us get a grip on the many faces of Microsoft under its new leadership. Dave comes equipped to answer our questions and show some of the newest gadgets that Microsoft is introducing. What’s the difference between Office Web Apps and Office 365? Is the Microsoft Band an avant garde music group? What in the world is the Internet of Things and when is Azure more than a color? Is Internet Explorer going away? Dave….you have a lot of explaining to do. Oh and don’t forget the gadgets! LOL
