I'm not an advocate of cloud computing nor ever use the service, but Micro$oft already has a monopoly on the PC market, I don't want M$ having a monopoly on the cloud as well.

Ray Ozzie shouldn't be giving ideas to M$.

I could careless, if Microsoft wants the cloud then they can have it. Cloud computing is a bad idea anyways, and I will never store any of my files on a 'cloud'. I stick with my 'obsolete' (local) optical media and hard disks, thanks.

I'm old school computer user too. I prefer to keep my stuff locally as well.
