Re: Microsoft exec blasts 'Open Cloud Manifesto'

They're looking more and more like the bad guys in a movie I saw once 
"Antitrust". (The resemblance was intentional of course).

I'm in the process of getting up to speed in using the Web-as-GUI 
technology, PHP, dot-Net, Java.

Eric Rudolph has a link on his web site with him interviewing with some 
brokerage and investors about Open Source when it was a new thing and 
Wall Street was hopping on board, and it's very interesting and 
revealing. He also includes some links to some leaked internal Microsoft 
memos on the subject.. ;)
Just when they seem to be "opening up" they expose their innermost 
parts... Maybe they were even baited.

But that said, I am hesitant to favor cloud computing, trusting an 
external infrastructure with private data... Don't care what Larry 
Ellison says..
