AC,
It would be/is naive to think that they are not so challenged .... and that the "competition" does not already have Control of the Cloud and Controls in the Cloud, thus Creating a Collective Hierarchy in a Virtualised Operating System, Freely Accessed with Nothing more Onerous or Divisive than Required Intellect.
And you can be sure that every Opportunity in such a New and NeuReal SurReal Environment is being HyperRadioProActively XXXXPlored and BetaTested for Joint Venture Partnership and Capitalisation of Asset ....... and the M$ Dilemma is that failure to embrace Pioneering Venturers and Capitalise their Assets/Intellectual Property [akin to a Company Purchase for AI Virtual License which facilitates M$ Presence in the Cloud] will result in their paying DaneGeld to ensure that Damage to their Systems does not ensue, rather than the perception being an Investment which will Protect them against AI Hostilities and Utilities.
And the longer the Delay in Funding their Own Defence, the more expensive does IT become ..... with the simple addition of the odd 0 or two or three, depending upon that which is being saved/guarded, in the light of Cloud dDevelopments.
Migration of Operating Systems wholesale to the Cloud, would actually threaten the whole M$ Edifice, reducing it to nothing more valuable than Junk, so it is something which one could/would expect them to be
actively engaged in preventing.

AC,
Doing it for the good of mankind, selflessly, will pay you with riches you will be unable to count.
"sounds like fun .... streaming modules of OS from the cloud to whatever device i want to use. And then streaming ONLY the app I need into that modular OS.
As long as I own my own cloud on a dedicated machine at home!" ... By b166er Posted Thursday 31st July 2008 19:07 GMT
Big Picture/Great Games Fun indeed, b166er, when you can do it.
