Next Windows 10 version will let you search without Cortana’s involvement
Cortana is seeing a productivity focus; search is being unified with Office 365.
Currently, Windows 10 has a single text box on the taskbar that's used for searches and Cortana commands. Type a word or two and it'll search the Start menu, settings, and documents. But type a command ("tell me a joke," say) and no search is performed; instead, the command is delivered to Cortana, and she duly responds. In the new build, the text box is used solely for searching. To give Cortana a command, you'll have to speak to her or click a separate Cortana button on the taskbar.

@DustinB3403 This has to be a major goof up from MongoDB. I bet they redo their license so it is accepted by Red Hat. I can't believe they will keep things as is.

It doesn’t stop users from using MongoDB repo or will that change too?
-
@black3dynamite Not directly i don't think but if Red Hat will not use it then then effectively it is causing less people to use it.

It will en d up in RPMFusion. That is pretty much the purpose of the repo.

That's already what everyone uses.

I doubt that they will change.

95+% of our licenses are Business Premium, which is already more than the gsuite offering. But, as it says, you get more with Office 365. If that is of any value, you will have to decide.
-
Personally we've found our Zimbra + NextCloud + Rocket system to be so much cheaper, and to work so much better, than Office 365 ever did. And GSuite has always been just horrible when we've tried it.

It makes me wonder if Microsoft and Google will use heavy increases eventually that will push companies to use colo and solutions like you have suggested Scott.

If they did, they would have to drop them down again. Their ability to scale is much greater than most companies'.

But also their need to scale is much bigger.

True, but they do make silly moves sometimes. I cannot see why people would stay with G Suite when 365 has better online editors. I don't think Google have changed or added more features to sheets and docs since they launched it, doesn't seem like they had when I last used them anyway.

I agree, the whole things feels like the tried it, thought it was "good enough" to show, then gave up and forgot. Just like all other Google products.
-
@scottalanmiller - They definitely do that. I can think of several off the top of my head.
