This is the same Microsoft business model and strategy that's been in use since the Windows product first got traction. New and up-rated buzz phrases, same and repackaged and renamed and updated products and services. If you watch, most of the Microsofties will use the same gestures and techniques in the presentations, too. The languages listed as "soon" would appear to be a freeze-the-market component of the classic competitive strategy, as are the barbs tossed at the competitors. Almost certainly more technical and operations and licensing complexity and cross-version complexity, though the C-level usually discovers these costs after the deal is done. If at all. Will it work? Sure. But you'll (still) be using Windows and Windows Networking, with all that entails. But hey, they got you to look at Windows. Again.
