Google Android Developer Conference

When Microsoft decides he will do something big, which generally makes very little noise. Apple and Google message roofs, press conferences and generally do great noise. When you're the biggest kid on the block you do not have to create confusion, it comes with the territory.

Over the past years Microsoft has been quietly, at least sometimes they calm about it, bringing all things "W". The "W" stands of course for Windows, so less is what they want you to think. It really is for the web. Although late to the party Microsoft realized the potential of the Web and was moving in different directions to capitalize. Think about it. They are on your desktop, telephone, in the living room (Xbox), home servers, Media Centers, Rich Internet Applications (Silverlight) and companies IT. They have a vast landscape to leverage if only he could work together.

Type W. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) are the building blocks of a cohesive operating environment. When you stop to think, is simple. Control workflow and presentation are the way users interact with computers. But the W is very complicated. Windows that we know now is a relic and has begun a transformation to the new field. How can Microsoft betting the future on this?

Each one of the reasons above begin with W. The W, as it was covered, stands for Windows. However, if you replaced Windows with the Web would have much sense. This is a bet that Microsoft is doing. By unifying the board of Microsoft will allow developers to write an application that can be used in Windows, the Web, mobile devices and in his room. The objective of Java was a unified platform that allowed developers to write once and deploy it anywhere. The problem of course is that Java does not have a unified platform to deploy. This is where Microsoft is ahead of The Game. With the unification of the Windows platform in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Mobile 7, Microsoft is positioning itself for a true write-once deployment.

Google saw the writing on the wall, that's why they are building an operating system. Chrome OS, Android and Google Apps are all a different version of the same thing. Google wants to be on your phone, and PC in your living room, as far as Microsoft. We're seeing a PC-based company go to the web, and a web-based company go to the PC. You're right, it will be interesting.

Yet no technical obstacles to overcome. As fast as broadband is, is not as fast as Windows installed on your PC. Silverlight is Microsoft's response to date, and is built on the WPF / WCF framework. This is a stop-gap. Over time, fast Internet access is ubiquitous and the need for bridge between the desktop and the Internet will be gone. The true measure of success will be the same application code running, no matter what device you are using to gain access. Imagine controlling your ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) from a desktop, netbook or phone, without any noticeable difference. Reduction training costs alone would be significant, the increase in productivity will be amazing.
