Microsoft : Launches Surface Warranty Program for Schools 4-Traders

The new Surface Complete for Education warranty program allows schools to pool their accidental damage claims. Microsoft R Server Developer Edition is now available on the Linux version of the company s Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM), enabling users to build models using Microsoft s ScaleR libraries. In January, Microsoft launched R Server Developer Edition, a free version of the analytics platform for developers, students and nonproduction deployments. The offering arrived nearly a year after the software maker announced it was acquiring Revolution Analytics, the leading commercial supporter of R, the popular open-source statistical computing language. Making Microsoft R Server Developer available on the Linux flavor of the DSVM offers a major bump in big data processing capabilities.
