Sorry for late reply Jimmy, I don’t really see why your arguing with me? I know they are Jimmy, I look after 9 datacentres. A server isn’t a processor, a processor is a processor.

In VMware when you allocate a processor to a VM you are not literally allocating one physical processors resources as they a thinly provisioned by VMware using processor cycles and a queuing system priority dependent on how many processors one single VM has. When a processor does a cycle the hypervisor then translates it to a free cycle on one of the physical processors then returns to the source VM. The same goes for memory and hashing.

He was trolling, hard. All of your other points about wanting to know how it works are valid, I’d like to know too. Which is my point, no one knows what impact it will make or how it works. That’s also the reason you _cannot_ call MS liars at this point, as we don’t have enough information. That’s my point. And his emotional guessing and slandering of MS is too early, and childlike. Its obvious where his bias is, and that’s fine – but people like me will jump in to correct him if the mood takes us 🙂 Anyway, another 6 months and we can all play with the consoles and make our own minds up then I guess.

I know I’m late but Don’t bother man….He can’t even comprehend the facts your giving him. He’s just gonna call you “childish” and tell you to “grow up” as if debates are for children. Debates are natural and expected. We even have presidential debates.lol. He’s acting as if we can’t possible debate on “cloud technology” if we don’t know what microsoft is going to do with it….even though it has been and is being implemented right now.lol. He’s gonna wait and hope microsoft pulls a miracle out of their ass, while other’s have already struggled on the issue of implementing the cloud tech effectively for certain aspects of a game. As long as we continue to have these crappy internet connections, the Cloud technology will never work better than the actual hardware in the console…and when the internet drops out all together, you need that strong CPU and GPU to pick up the slack and take over when the servers are down. It’s just not as reliable as the actual hardware in general, so no point in hyping cloud technology.(which microsoft is doing).

I wished I joined this debate earlier…:-( . And for the record he wasn’t being childish at all….he was just questioning the integrity of the claims about the xbox1. Wouldn’t you want to know everything about the xbox1’s cloud technology before you pre-order the thing over ps4, seeing how “cloud” is one of the XBOX1’s biggest selling point. The point he was trying to make is that the cloud technology isn’t new. It’s been used before. So what makes microsoft so special? These are the issues that gamers want to know when making a decision on which console to get because you can’t just make a claim like that without explaining how exactly they are going to do this. We can’t just say “ok microsoft i believe you” and leave it at that, and we don’t need the actual console to be in our hands before they can explain the process to us.
Even sony considered the same thing but understands the limitations in cloud technology…http://www.cloudtweaks.com/2013/06/cloud-computing-capabilities-in-ps4/
And to my understanding sony fanboys don’t own xbox360’s. Lol. Just admit he has a right to question those Big selling points that Microsoft is pushing. That’s how we all got here in the first place isn’t it. He wasn’t hating on microsoft…he was calling them out like others have been doing, so microsoft can provide us with the information and process behind how this cloud technology will actually work. And the fact that microsoft isn’t going into detail is suspicious in it’s self. So if you and microsoft want us to shut the hell up about the issue give us the facts that we rightfully deserve to know. Because all they’ve been doing is talking a good game, despite the lack of hard evidence that suggest otherwise.
And people can speculate on the issue because cloud technology IS know…and the process IS familiar…but how is microsoft going to alter that process to actually work for their games. They can’t just claim it will and not tell us how. Otherwise people will just eat up whatever they say and consider it to be true with no questions asked. At least Sony is honest and not trying to push the “cloud technology” like microsoft is doing…even though they could if they wanted to…They did spent 380 million on Gaikai in order to take advantage of some form of this cloud technology.
I do realise i’m almost a month late in the discussion but…what the heck. There’s my tidbit :-).

You forgot the ps3 came a year after xbox…kind of hard to buy something thats wasn’t even out at the time….genius.

“…clouds you got shoved up your ass.”
I love Fanboy humor…:-)

You must know all there is to know about them huh? You actually believe Sony would pay 380million for shit? You must be butthurt about the whole XBOX1 thing huh. It’s ok…enjoy them clouds you got shoved up your ass.

WRONG! Do some research before you count them out…

What I know is that Microsoft is pimping cloud computing power and denying XBox One being always online at the same time.
