KELLNER: Cloud computing a Microsoft threat?
,----[ Quote ]
| Mr. von Tetzchner said Opera wants Microsoft to hold to standards, not to
| open up its operating system to all comers:
|
| "If Microsoft were to follow more standards more carefully, you as an end
| user would have more choice of browsers," he asserted.

Is Microsoft being left out of cloud computing?
,----[ Quote ]
| Moreover, and I found this out myself as CEO of two cloud computing
| companies, it’s just not very PC to leverage Microsoft these days. The VC
| doesn’t like it, the cloud computing end users don’t like it, and the
| developers don’t like it. Whatever PR war that was being fought by Microsoft
| in the emerging cloud space is long lost, if you ask me.

Washington DC latest to drop Microsoft for web apps
,----[ Quote ]
| Washington D.C. has joined 500,000+ businesses and organizations in moving
| its communication and productivity tools into the cloud. Vivek Kundra, CTO
| for the District, signed an agreement with Google to migrate the
| organization's 38,000 employees to Google Apps, the search giant's web-based
| offering of communication and productivity tools. Washington D.C. is a
| not-insignificant win for Google, and yet another blow to Microsoft's
| incumbent Office suite, as a surge of web apps steadily replaces their
| desktop counterparts.
