IBM opens new cloud lab while Microsoft reorgs
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM is continuing its investment in cloud
| computing with a new lab in Hong Kong,
| expanding the presence of its IBM China
| Development Laboratory (CDL), the company's
| largest with more than 5,000 developers on
| staff.
|
| [...]
|
| My blogging colleague, James Urquhart,
| wrote this week about Microsoft's new
| business unit that merges its cloud and on-
| premise server group into one development
| team, which makes sense, at least in
| theory.
|
| Practically speaking, Microsoft is way
| behind the curve and has a lot of ground to
| make. I've written in the past that the
| opportunity is theirs to lose, and it's
| hard to see how they plan to win, even with
| this new structure.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
