Microsoft is shipping servers sealed in a container later this year. This is pretty interesting stuff. You see, they arrive racked and stacked in a sealed container and all you have to do is plug them in and hook them up to air conditioning. Servers are clustered and when enough of the servers start to go out in the cluster then Microsoft just sends you a new container. Management required for hardware: zilch. To be worried about this type of thing taking away if you’re in the field a lot: nope. Why, because as you gain experience you’re hopefully not dealing with hardware any more. Otherwise, move up and over or you’ll likely go the way of a COBOL programmer…
