Jim's speech at DTH disclaimer: The speech today was by professional actors. Why some of the discussion was based on fact, most was wishful thinking. GE does not claim to have been first to create some of the concepts or does not guarantee any... — read more
Microsoft / GED
Digital would most likely be spun off to Microsoft who wants to enter the IIOT space. A partnership with GED would allow them to stay engaged with the industrial assets. Plus - Predix does not require GE devices - so makes even more sense.

I’m 5 months gone after two decades of GE IT
What is Digital now? Is BR still bouncing around and failing at telepresence? Is Predix getting canned yet? Or is everyone still saying “this is fine, it’s great that we have a Miami hub”?
