  Uhm... it is meant to be? Oracle and Teradata did the same thing. They paid for it.

    The session was supposed to be how they use it not how other companies can use it by paying for it

      The session was called "R at Microsoft", not "How Microsoft uses R". You just had the wrong expectations.

  Was at Strata London. Most of the talks were sales pitches (for Cloudera). It was absolute garbage.

  Companies have to understand that instead of mainly targeting the head buyers / CxOs reps in the companies they have to target the ones that really understand and work with their product. As big company investions have to be justified, CxOs can no longer buy what they want without justification. They have to sell the quality of their products to the users which will then convince the CxOs who are going to do the investment.
