The Cloud is MS PR speak. That is all.
Not that it really matters the X1 is still awesome but the "Cloud" was invented as a means of convincing consumers to go fully digital. So yes if people think there will be a real world power difference due to the cloud they will be sorely disappointed |
"The cloud" is NOT a MS term. It's used everywhere if you're in the semiconductor business. It simply is a marketing buzzword, but at the end of the day using remote servers to store, compute, etc. is not a new idea nor is it going away. Its only getting bigger. Even your Gmail account uses cloud storage.
Definitely potential in the future. Thing is, EVERYONE is doing it. It's not exclusive to MS, but they ARE dumping a lot of money into it.

Im aware of this but MS version of the cloud is just PR speak.
Its just dedicated servers. Thats it. Still very nice and can streamline some aspects of games but not this huge power source MS was pretending it was.
