MS takes forever to wade through their layered structure (I know, I've worked on their account at several agencies... It's a fucking nightmare.) Google does stuff in weeks if not days. That's why, one day, Google will own the universe. No shit. Cheers/George Christine

Although that term is quite ambiguous (is it; CPU computation like Folding@Home, data like Flickr or Google Docs, or a full "OS" experience like eyeos, or just our online presence like Facebook/OpenSocial). Most people talk of it in a specific context but I believe it really must embody all those (and probably more). The need for a more seamless existence between all these facets of our computing experience seems more compelling then continuing the trend of "locked in a device" isolationism. "Software above the level of a single Device" or simply a "seemless" continuation of purpose across multiple interfaces (or a seemingly single interface across multiple applications) either catchphrase embodies the desire. Without the clouds, it'll be s dismal shadow cast. I don’t think there’s really any other option then “cloud computing”.
