Re: Microsoft exec blasts 'Open Cloud Manifesto'

They're looking more and more like the bad guys in a movie I saw once "Antitrust". (The resemblance was intentional of course).

I'm in the process of getting up to speed in using the Web-as-GUI technology, PHP, dot-Net, Java.

Eric Rudolph has a link on his web site with him interviewing with some brokerage and investors about Open Source when it was a new thing and Wall Street was hopping on board, and it's very interesting and revealing. He also includes some links to some leaked internal Microsoft memos on the subject.. ;)
Just when they seem to be "opening up" they expose their innermost parts... Maybe they were even baited.

But that said, I am hesitant to favor cloud computing, trusting an external infrastructure with private data... Don't care what Larry Ellison says..

Let me see if I understand this.

That bastion of standards adherence, Microsoft, is concerned about
standards?
