Sorry Pete, I posted the link to the WPC 2015 Conference, so I was sure what you were referring too? Yes I agree that the four MTC's are enough to make a video. I was referring to the 50-100 breakout sessions at this huge conference where Microsoft will be discussing all their new tech and partners.
This is my favorite and final one :)

Who shorts this stock at the risk of a Microsoft Press release and a short covering SQUEEEEEEZER makes it jump to 8, 10???????? Seriously, man that is some risk. Can the shorts afford the BIG SQUEEZE. 1 PRESS RELEASE AWAY FROM DISASTER. Enjoy the ride man!
Another great post from our Microsoft guru over on yahoo:
msftsurface3rocks • 4 hours ago
Microsoft originally expected a billion Windows 10 devices within a year. That was before anticipating floods of Android and IOS devices to flood the Windows 10 market. All the users ITunes and pictures automatically transfer to Windows 10.
In short, if you are not informed enough to know that Microsoft has the fastest growing CLOUD period and if SPHERE a "Proprietary Platform" fits into the puzzle, forget investing. Proprietary Platform means NO Open Source.
If Sphere further has a container solution and fit's into the IOS & Android migration into Windows, are you sure you should be investing?
There are relatively a limited amount of players that can help make Microsoft have a non Hack-able system and still allow Google Apps & IOS Apps in Windows 10. Do your homework and find out how many container solutions there are that can allow Android & IOS Apps in Windows 10. Microsoft is keeping Android content separate even if they convert Android code to Windows Store. They have I believe the problem with this stock is the forward technology is too new and too above the level of understanding of Wall Street. publicly said that.
However, this could have a violent short covering Squeeze if anything regarding the transition of Windows 10 content and the Microsoft Azure Cloud. The Internet Security problem threatens the existence of the Internet. Nobody but fools in denial are ignoring it. The US Gov. & DOD are not ignoring it.
Microsoft is the US Government's largest Growing Cloud Provider. It is the only Cloud Provider qualified to do certain things and does have a US Gov. Cloud.
Open Source servers have been a disaster in the US Gov. arena. You have to do what the customers DEMAND.
If you think a Sphere solution that is CLOSED (aka Proprietary Platform) with containers and can run all the junk out there does not matter, you do not know what you are talking about. Sphere may have found : "The Honey Pot".

HUGO? or Ms. McClure a 20 year vet, senior analyst, previous employed at EMC:::)))
Terri McClure, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, an IT research firm, observed that Sphere 3D's approach helps customers avoid the tangle of compliance and security issues that can arise when they engage with third parties to build out their hybrid clouds in response to the rise of mobile work styles.
"While many IT organizations want to embrace the cloud, 90 percent of the organizations we surveyed have policies in place that restrict certain types of data from being stored in a third-party cloud," said McClure in prepared remarks. "These organizations are looking for hybrid cloud solutions to fit these needs, rather than adopting multiple point products."
SnapCLOUD fits the bills, McClure said. With the introduction of the its SnapCLOUD technology, "Sphere 3D appears to be addressing customers' needs to be able to centrally manage and deliver all of their enterprise data, regardless of whether it is on premise, in the cloud, or which device employees prefer to use for work," she asserted.
Your right, my bad I just saw the total thought that was one trade, thanks for the correction!

Your welcome, good read from someone who knows more then the shorts think they know! All to quiet around here :)
This is the post to which he was defending!
debko82 • May 25, 2015 9:21 AM
Emulation Software?...reflect a fundamental ignorance of ANY IP...Go back to GW Kindergarden for A,B,C's of GW.
Kindergarden for A,B,C's of GW.WOW...incredible ignorance as to the functionality, process and execution within the Glassware Platform...it is far from Emulation... With GW, APPs operate natively, on GW Platform...not "emulating"...
Go back to GW Kindergarden School and learn the A, B & C's of Sphere3d technology and IP, otherwise you come across as believing the world is flat.
This guy posted a response to one of our shorts bashing on yahoo, he came from the Microsoft board to defend another longs post, interesting read!
msftsurface3rocks msftsurface3rocks • 31 minutes ago
Since Mr. Debko82 was kind enough to stop by the Microsoft Board I will defend what he is saying. If I am saying it, I am 100% positive.
Microsoft & Sphere did a 3 year deal. That involved Glassware 2.0 using what is called Windows Embedded. The current use is in Education and this will get deleted if I name names. A really big name that left Microsoft and returned just happens to be leading a development team and Education may, might, could be the name of that game that maybe has not received any press yet. Maybe a connection, maybe not.
However, later this year another use starts between the two companies and it does involve "CONTAINERS". Glassware 2.0 is a proprietary platform and it does virtualize applications but without the need for a virtualized desktop. I can't go line by line in all the things you said are not there buy it includes a micro Hypervisor called Microvisor and it differs from the rest of the junk because you do not need another visitor OS for the applications to fire. Glassware does include Containers or Microsoft would have said don't let the door hit you in the can I think.
Trust me pal Debko82 has the general idea correct on very complex things that the PATENT you read does not have to indicate. Sometimes these bosses file more than 1 patent you know. Actually some places file them all day long for every thing the developers do. I have heard developers say that maybe that is the only reason we are asked to do anything and it may not ever be used. They take the developers stuff and just file random patents all day long in case something comes up in the future. It is a cluster .....
The deal between Microsoft is PUBLIC INFORMATION. Now you have two technologies companies not 1. That makes even more you are not aware of. Lot's of luck reading Microsoft Patents. Better hire 3000 people to help
Another interesting event July!

AHHH, there's a great post from someone that gets it! Nice post!
I can also see why Microsoft and Sphere has been working at a very fast pace per PT during the CC:
For organizations running legacy Windows Server 2003, now is the time to look to the future. The technology choices you make can have a powerful impact on your business—like increasing scale and flexibility through Microsoft Azure and improving efficiency and manageability through Windows Server 2012 or a hybrid cloud.
Evolution is a priority: Windows Server 2003 reaches end of support on July 14, 2015.
Get help making the case for migration at the complimentary on-demand webinar hosted by Microsoft featuring Gartner. Watch the webinar and learn how you can evolve your IT environment.
He can spit some more when the revenues starting pouring in with this model!
Customers will be able to purchase up to 32TB of SnapCLOUD storage per image in the Microsoft® Azure™ Marketplace by purchasing 1GB increments on a pay-for-use basis.
This was the hire the shorts never talk about, sure they want to talk about EK past. True DD shows that great managers bring in great visionaries! MK knows this technology and he and the Sphere management are now knocking it out of the park with MK guidance!

Summary
We live and work in a world of ever accelerating change. To thrive in that world we must be able to embrace change quickly, thoroughly, and efficiently. Traditional enterprise models have always emphasized just the opposite view: that change is not the norm but the exception. It is being proven out everyday that the norm now is that rapid change is here to stay and we must evolve our enterprise models, people, process, and technology to acknowledge that truth.
There are major forces at work today driving the need for IT to pivot: cloud computing, big data, mobility, and social. I've spent the past several years speaking and engaging with companies about the importance of transforming the legacy IT business model in order to achieve convergence with the business and be able to meet the challenges of today's environment.
By using people, process, and technology I have helped IT organizations through the transformation into a fundamental enabler for the enterprise. Through this transformation, the enterprise shifts from a series of disjointed business units with isolated, manually connected applications to one that has distributed, integrated business processes that connects with trading partners and is supported by a common, shared infrastructure.
It is an evolutionary path, not revolutionary transformation and this type of enterprise is not bought but built. This is what I have dedicated my career to helping companies understand.

Awesome material, thanks for sharing! #Nextcloud $ANY $Azure
I'm guessing Sphere's management team went into the MTC in Silicon Valley with a gun and held Microsoft and Brett hostage. Then they forced them to bring people in to listen to the presentation. Then told Brett he must say this below!
Pass the crack pipe please! The short battle cry is getting weaker by the day :))
@Sphere3D Great stuff! Brett, a Sr Tech Evangelist shared "MSFT believes Sphere3D will be one of strongest partners going forward"
The wall will start crumbling when this Microsoft video comes out! All we need is something from Microsoft to confirm this partnership is large and all hell breaks loose, jmo!
Let's see what happens when Microsoft puts out that video :)))
