Why is $MSFT so involved with Sphere3d ($ANY)...goes beyond the AZURE "partner" surface...

ANY has patented and prototyped for commercialization a SOC (System-on-a-chip) containing their "micro-visor containerization technology platform" called "Glassware 2.0".

According to the Chairman/CEO of Sphere3D, Eric Kelly, the chip will eliminate the need for VMWare and Citrix. and be the holy grail platform to the IOT.

It is destined-to-be ubiquitous GW chip... the final piece in the platform of the Next Cloud and the IoT... the chip completes the circle of connectedness... completes the platform that is in development now with MSFT... the chip is not a priority of development right now because other things must be built first for MSFT... everything in its time... including the GW chip... when it arrives the GW chip will signal the full-on commoditization of devices and the ubiquity of the cloud... as well as the fall and rise of technology businesses and their models (VMWare and Citrix)... at that point it will be quite clear that S3d was stealth disruptor, on the profitable side of this particular paradigm shift...and not escaping the eyes of MSFT.
