“Building applications for multi-device, multi-sense
experiences is going to require a very different form
of computing architecture.
That's the motivation for bringing together all of
our systems and people.
Silicon in the edge to the silicon in the cloud
architected as one workload that is distributed—
that’s the challenge in front of us.”
—Satya Nadella, Q&A Session, April 2018
