MrSeb writes "Earlier this morning, at the Build Windows conference in Anaheim, California, Microsoft made it patently clear that “To the cloud!” is not merely a throwaway phrase: it is the entire future of the company. Every single one of Microsoft’s services, platforms, and form factors will now begin its hasty, leave-no-prisoners-behind transition to the always-on, internet-connected cloud. Are we ready for an always-on, status-updates-from-the-bathroom existence? Are we ready for the wholescale geotagging of our activities, and with ubiquitous, cloud-connected computing are we ready for the gamification of everything that will surely follow? A better question to ask, though, is whether our data networks are ready. We are already at the stage where we curse out loud and feel consummately useless if we go through a 3G blackspot or if our ISP falls over — but imagine what it will be like when every app uses server-side logic."
