@Frank Daley

Thank you for saving me the trouble of writing the same comment in my less articulate, trolly way.

MS is in for a “bag of hurt” if they think they can compete in the open market of Cloud services that do not rely on a desktop computer operating system.

…but the tin foil hat wearer in me worries they will exploit our failed attempt at making Net Neutrality law and just use collusion with the ISP to force Azure on us all.

thanks bruce for the simple english. micro needs to acquire talent. from the creators to the executioners. they could fire everybody in search marketing and none of the users would notice or care. time to clean the slate and put some young fresh blood in the mix. they claim they are serious about search. i dont see it. funny how a self professed leader of tech could be so lost in an industry that by there own admission is the holy grail to there online survival.

Microsoft’s core business are fast de-evolving to the cloud, a marketplace in which it is in catch-up mode.

It’s days of dominating global computing are gradually drawing to a close as we enter a new era in which it has to compete based on price, product quality, and service.

However the problem for Microsoft is that it just doesn’t know how to compete when it doesn’t have a lock-in stranglehold on the customer. So it is going to experience massive losses of market share as it re-adjusts to a new world order.

I’m still skeptic. Unless they publish this in a public API, available on several platforms (inlcuding Apple & Linux) and offering same or better capabilities than Amazon S3/EC3, it’ll be yet-another failed venture for MS.

We have Amazon for years, and its adoption still very limited to few apps and developers. Yes, Microsoft has the possibility to move Outlook to “the cloud”, or to create an Office-Azure Connector allowing you to store docs/spreadsheets/presentations easily “on the cloud”, and thus give a boost to the whole cloud concept.

But all this still to be seen. Unless they nail down the execution plan and create an open platform, it’ll be just yet another ‘MS Passport”..

That means they use profits from these areas to subsidize markets where they lose money. For example, search and advertising.

“powers more than 100% of their profits”

That means they use profits from these areas to subsidize markets where they lose money. For example, search and advertising.
