                    It's not hard, but the steps need to be followed carefully.

                    IT Infrastructure is always evolving. The next big change will be back toward an old, familiar model, closer to the days of the mainframe than the era of siloed servers that has dominated for decades.

                    Microsoft's big show should provide clarity on these issues.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    A company built on the world's most popular OS and productivity software has changed radically in just a few years. The cloud has changed everything for the Redmond giant, and not a moment too soon.
