Cloud madness is at its peak now... MS being smartest of all by not showing all the cards... Right goes
Balmer once again...
Azure is here to rock... and yeah no surprise, License/Pricing is not yet disclosed... Although its a
CTP release, it will surely be handy.
This left me all confused... cuz i was hearing lot of codenames like Zurich, Strata, "Red Dog", Live Mesh... And then i read this
Article which made my mind lil clear. Hope this helps everyone.
Amazon is also out with their
version. Actually there was lots of pressure to get something out for the worlds most abused yet favorite OS. They have done what it can be done at the earliest.
And i still remain a fan of MS by offering
services which is surely tough to understand cuz there are too many... If my understanding is right, MS is actually manipulating their all the current services to suit for the Cloud. At the same time they are waiting for others to show their arsenal (I love this part... ;) ) and once again they will be the clear winners.
What Google and Amazon are doing is very raw and less meaning/value to developers or ISV's. 2009 will surely a important year when we will talk about Virtualization for sure.
