The CloudOS arrives: Map your cloud journey with real tools

Cloud OS has already arrived, it's Called Chrome OS....Bit like calling ODF in office a new feature, once again Microsoft is the last not the first to the party, keep the MS/BS propaganda to MS channels...

Haven't any of you been following the Kim Dotcom/Megaupload drama which emanated here in New Zealand? The lesson is keep your own data yourself and don't abrogate responsibility for it to anyone else; what happens if the Fibbies decide your Cloud man is their next suspect? Remember, the abacus, the pencil and the slide rule are still valid tools. If you dont want to be your own IT guy, then find someone in your family you trust to be it, send him or her to Unix school and go open source. Buy your own hardware to run what you think you need That's the least anyone can do.

Calling ChromeOS a "CloudOS" is like calling Internet Explorer a cloud OS - Chrome is just a glorified standalone browser - should learn what the term means before posting

um, Microsoft NEVER had industry relevance, all they ever had was MARKETING payoff, for those INCAPABLE OF THOUGHT to use their crapware.

and their latest, just more crap no-one with the ability to add 1 and 1 and come up with 2 would ever pick, as usual.
and yup, my opinion of any microsoft powered facility is it is staffed by people to stupid to be allowed to live, never mind procreate.

How is MS owning the whole cloud stack a good thing?

For us, not them...

Didn't read any more of your post, my eyes kept doing stumbling straight into that assumption, no matter where I looked.

I can still see it now, I think you have burned it into my retinas...
