back to article 'Linux for cloud' floats anti-Amazon cloud taster

How does a cloud project solve a problem like Amazon? The once genteel etailer of toasters, books and CDs has now become a byword for "cloud".

    Yep, that's why this developers uses AWS extensively. AWS seem expensive only when it's compared to the cost of buying a box. I look forward to a competitive product and, maybe, Microsoft or HP or Rackspace will get there but at the moment there's no true alternative. IMHO.

    WTF?

    So many errors...

    (thereby hovering in even more.) - "Hoovering" perhaps?

    (if that sounds like to much hassle) - TOO much!

    (told The Reg: "We heard from several people the are interested in using OpenStack, but don't have the sysadmins do build the KVM or networking) - WTF? Plus no closing quotes.

    (and if you are developer working on an application) - "if you are A developer"?

    (and to that they'd need the hardware) - to DO that they'd need the hardware

    (Once your finished, your compute resources return to the pool ) - Once YOU'RE finished!

    (Rackspace, Bryce's employer, was a instrumental in creating OpenStack) - a instrumental?

    (How Citrix charges isn't clear and it still seems to relying on the Cloud.com start-up it bought last year) - it still seems to BE relying on the Cloud.com start-up...

    (With the "deploy" portion of the development cycle) - Should be apostrophes, not quotes as you are stating a name, not quoting.

    Did you even bother proofreading? Is level of illiteracy acceptable to the Reg?
