Microsoft 3 Major Cloud Computing Categories

Device Clouds

In the Device Cloud category, contents can be purchased or shared across different devices in a more transparent way. Devices can be any of the electronic medium like Television, mobile phones, etc. Using these devices make the users less concerned about the storage of these contents.
