I would like to inform that starting later this month and continuing into November I’ll be doing a series of TechNet Live events. We’ve done several of these in the past and wanted to continue them to keep you up-to-date with the latest Microsoft technologies. As many of you know the System Center line of products are all getting update and are heavily focused on Private and Public cloud and helping you better manage you existing infrastructures. To that end we’ll be running 4 Live meetings focusing on Private Cloud and some of the System Center 2012 products.

This is certainly true and there are many spins on what cloud is and how it can help your business.

In fact you may already have many of the building blocks in place that make up a private cloud and not even realise. This session will cover the Microsoft technologies that deliver the private cloud as well as the components that make up the infrastructure.

Believe that open source software is definitely more popular than the software you buy, the main reason being, it is free. However, if all software in open source, does that mean paying for software will become thing of the past? Or will we pay a convenience fee for downloading a program pre-compiled? With the number of Linux users on the rise, free and open source software is becoming more and more common. However, I find Linux to not be a user-friendly, so I think that is not the major downfall of Linux This is only my view,my modest opinion,but still there are lots and lots of Linux Users. Open source is definitely "more trustable". You can generally assume that open source software is safe because many people in the public eye have looked over the code. However, I do not think a company would like to open themselves up that much. They do not want to reveal too many of their "secrets". That is Microsoft and alike. I enjoy the input of those geeks above.Anonymous

Yes, indeed. The future of software is inevitably open source. Only a few years ago did I begin to hear about open source. However, at that time I was still using mostly closed source software to do day-to-day activities. Fast-forwarding to today, the open source community has made such great strides that now I use mostly open source software for all of my everyday needs from web browsing to multimedia playing to even some games. And the thing is, casual PC users are beginning to like open source software, and when they like something, it's bound to catch on in the computer industry like wildfire. How long will we have to wait, though? this is the time, yes time will tell. Jeffa dude when you fall,do not tell those geeks,that they did not want to embrace youAnonymous

Actually, OS X is based upon and uses open source projects and code. X11, BSD, CUPS and Darwin just to name a few. Although OS X itself is closed source. Also, a big reason for using Linux in the past, before say Windows NT was stability. I don't know anything about the suitableness of new Windows server versions as I have no experience with them. I've never heard of Open Source programming languages, programming languages do not have a "source". Jeffadude,you know something,talk to us. By the way Windows 8 is the Swan song of Microsoft as we know it?.Anonymous

Open source software for the iPhone will be a great thing to come out! Eventually when an open-source developer realizes that they are attracting a lot of users, they will start making the user pay for their software thus not making it open source or freeware anymore. Jeffadude,what will be the outcome of Skype once Microsoft takeover,will be very expensive charges as it is per MS software. I see already the downfall of Microsoft as we know it.Anonymous

There's no question that the open source community is a passionate one -- and one with significant influence on technology directions and options. We're way past the days when people asked if Linux or Apache was safe to depend on in business. Open source is now a mainstream part of the technology fabric. Yet it remains connected to its roots around a passionate community working together to solve problems and share the fruits of their labors with others. Any endeavor based in community is bound to spark passionate debate. After all, without contention, how else to determine the best way forward? Since its emergence, open source has embodied this spirit. Part defiant, part self-reliant, and often outspoken and opinionated, those immersed in the community have worked both in tandem and at odds, all with the intention of pushing the movement in as many worthwhile directions at once. I like the views of the Linux geeks.
