It would be great if they used the Surface Pro 4 on the marketing page, not SP3. The keyboard on the SP4 is lightyears better :)
you can use an SP4 keyboard with an SP3 (and vice versa I guess)

It's not really enterprise unless it's hooked into a corporate authentication system with policy controls and management capabilities. I'm puzzled why this isn't attached to Office365 for those reasons. The marketing page for it says that it's for companies, but the whole thing makes my inner MS admin twitch: self-sign up with no mention of SSO, docs are pitched as if it's a consumer product with no administrative fe…

It seems like using unlisted videos with YouTube solves 99% of the use cases.
A little late to the game, IMO. Solutions like Kaltura have been around for years. There are ton of "enterprise" video offerings on the market that do all these things...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a simple whitelabeling of Lynda (or perhaps adaptation to a slightly tweaked use case -- this doesn't seem focused specifically on organizational eLearning) since Lynda hasn't been discontinue…
This is pure speculation, but I'm thinking they leveraged Azure Media Services[1] to deliver Stream, perhaps partially as a hero story for Azure. I feel like it's way too quick for them to have built an entire solution based off the Lynda stuff. I'm not even sure the companies are that integrated yet.

Although this looks cool, i don't know how well it would last. I guess my issue is that i don't understand how this would scale.

That would make pricing tricky, since this is essentially a single feature?
