Microsoft The New York Times and The Guardian both published interesting editorials about Microsoft's latest press blitz in Europe, and its promotion of Windows 7, "Windows Cloud," and its positioning against Google.

well I hope its done in Silverlight 2 since it would make it nice an esay to write .NET apps into it. but then again for that matter, since there is such a shift to .NET i with the GUI for windows 7 and WinCE 7 are Silverlight gui's with nice and easy .NET programability behind them... a man can dream can't he? a man can dream (professor farnsworth form futurama after inventing the "finglonger").

I'll gladly dream... that this buzz word "cloud computing" will die the death it deserves. It's hardly a revolutionary concept, it's a reworking of existing ideas with a new buzz word slapped on them. But I suppose the marketing folks had to come up with it... they have to keep their jobs too after all.
