While Microsoft Windows servers remain for hosting the Microsoft ASP.NET solutions, for example, in terms of Web app, developpers still need a client environment to build and maintain those apps. If Microsoft wouldn't support any OS by tomorrow, how should we see it as far as that point goes? My understand is that Windows 10 will continue to be supported but not in the same way as before, such as expecting another major release. I understood the update of the OS platform continues but similar to the mobile approach.

IAC, since companies started to adapt the policy that an accounting system could then be placed in the cloud, the rest followed. My POV is that one of the major concerns is that many companies waited very long before starting to think that way. Now, everything is accepted to be, pretty much, put on the cloud. So, it becomes more realistic for companies to migrate everything to web-based apps. Everything has to be mobile. That makes me thing like in "The Dark Knight" movie when Bane says "Time to go mobile".

Since a very long time, my view was to be able to work on all aspects of a corporate entity being seaten in the sand by the water, with satellite connection. Now, that would be known as wireless.

I agree with what you say. I find it sad, however, to see many companies destroying the good functionalities of their applications, when migrating to the Web, by doing some ways of doing things which totally does not make any sense. There are still many companies who go into major projects like that with, practically, no experience on how to adopt a very good conventional way of presenting their application. I, especially, don't like the video game approach to release Web sites. This does not impress me at all, makes the customers go away, and creates major latency. It also does not bring anything valuable in the equation. Web applications should remain as we were used to. Thus, simplicity, immediate response-time, and data-centric orientation, which means no flashy and moving things across the entire page. Talking about page, we still see major applications still using that approach. An application interface on the Web VS a Web page are two different things. I still see a lot of improvements in the sensibilization aspect in regards to that.
