![]() ![]() ![]() Droplet Computing is GA for Google ChromebookĪ couple of weeks ago we GA’d the first release of our software for Chromebook. Existing customers obviously qualify for the upgrade as part of their support and subscription, but it’s not mandatory. I suggested our new DCA release and the Droplet Container Image (DCI) should not include Notepad as our default sample app but a DOS version of Lotus 1-2-3 as a nod to the past, and a little tongue in cheek joke – ostensibly to show how Droplet Computing Containers can run all sorts of apps, not just modern ones but Jurassic ones too! So here’s a screengrab of Microsoft Excel 365 and Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS running side by side…Ĭustomers actively engaged in PoCs should consider upgrading to the latest version, to take advantage of all the new features, as well as fixes and performance enhancements. I recall one delegate left a course because the creepiness of moving a pointer on the screen freaked them out, although they had no issue with moving the cursor on the screen! Back then Windows 3.1 had just gone mainstream and folks were being ported off their old DOS PC programs to this new-fangled thing that needed a “mouse”. Back in the early 1990’s Lotus 123 was the first application I taught as a fledging IT trainer fresh out of university. The first bit of news is we recently GA’d a new version of our software that through a co-incidence of versioning has the number 1.2.3. So, in this blog post, I want to talk about what’s been happening in product development… Droplet Computing DCA v1.2.3 I suspect when this is all over (and it will eventually be over) folks are going to have to think again about their WFH capacity. We are experiencing another spike of interest because of the Coronavirus, as customers look towards their nascent Work From Home (WFH) capabilities, and try to scale them to unprecedented demand, that few if any could have envisaged even a couple of weeks ago. We have seen a spike in activity and engagements before the whole Coronavirus thing, mainly caused by the EOL of Windows 7, and folks being forced to decommission and get those apps into either Windows 10, Apple Mac, Linux, Chromebook or environments like VMware View, Citrix Virtual Apps or Amazon WorkSpaces. The main reason is we have been so busy with customers and product development (and documentation work!) I’ve had to focus purely on supporting new and existing customers. ![]() It’s been some time since I blogged about things Droplet Computing. ![]()
