Or she, remember, the Simpsons predicted Trump would be president, so our next President will be Lisa Simpson.

Finally a president I can admire and has integrity.

Most of those $ are future hype. They are partnering with Amazon and it looks like their going to get the Defense Dept world wide Cloud computing initiative. But who really knows who will be the next President of the USA and whether he will continue this expensive endeavor ?

Hi there

whoever is next president of USA even if it's a distant relative of King-Kong !! they are still going to need defence, security and law and order budget so I doubt whether the future political direction of USA will make much difference to the future earnings of Ms (and Amazon of course) -- consumers generally like the convenience etc of using Amazon too --- even in the USA a load of shopping Malls and conventional retail outlets are under quite a bit of stress and that whole sector is undergoing job losses - even where real bricks and motar stores exist the amazon type of 100% automated operation with no checkouts are very popular --not the standard "self service" type but the new ones where you have to enter the store via using a smart phone and the goods are debited automatically via in store sensors (no scanning required) -- they work brilliantly -- cuts crime and shop lifting too --since you can't get in unless permitted , no cash in store so nothing to rob and you can't leave if there's amounts owing on your bill.

Ms works with Amazon too in things like the AI needed for this type of operation and in self driving cars, general robotics and drone technology.

If you've ever been to "shopping Malls" in Europe --they are dreadfully boring souless affairs with hideous food in plastic plates/cutlery, beggars, homeless, and some dangerous types all over the place begging for money and various other agressive pan handlers to say nothing of particularly exhorbitant parking charges (at least in the UK) enforced by the largest growing employment sector -- parking enforcement. No thanks -- give me an amazon Home delivery every time -- I've better things to do than visit run down dangerous tatty shopping malls.

Full marks to Ms for getting involved with AI. Can't see the stock price falling any time soon -- unlike Apple which basically has only 1 serious product these days - the iPhone and that's matured so the sales volume will fall. Apple TV - far too late -- there's just too many services now so people will probably just Pirate again any content they want and can´t get - nobody is going to sign up to say 17 different TV streaming services !!!!

Cheers

Meaning you probably won't have any problems when the upcoming FU (19H1) is finally released in late May 2019 with regard to the upgrade blocks. They are specific to certain computers with the issues mentioned in the article.

Have i read that article correctly? As i have an external HD drive connected to by PC, i can't install the May update when it arrives?
