This will be our last newsletter for 2017 and I’d like to thank you for helping to make the last 12 months so remarkable. There have been many outstanding moments both in the SoFlo community we serve and within our own SherlockTalent community. We all have much to be grateful for and I encourage you to share your gratitude.
Genetically, we are all very similar but it is our words and actions that set us apart.
In a world where ‘there’s an app for that’, how long can stand-alone software products survive.
Apple, Google and now Microsoft all have their app stores and Microsoft’s Windows 10 S is aimed squarely at the app store experience. Along with the new Microsoft Surface Laptop, Windows 10 S provides a solid, controlled environment.
This is clearly a trend, but unlike the Google Chrome book, which basically runs everything inside a browser, Windows 10 S will support popular productivity apps like Office 365 and Adobe.
App stores feel like just another step on the road to the cloud, with all licensing managed and controlled through the app store interface.
As an example, Adobe just released the last ever standalone version of LightRoom. No other updates will follow. If users want the updated software they will have to look to the Adobe Creative Cloud for solutions.
