Comments on: Microsoft's 'Cloud OS' takes shape

Once ethereal, Microsoft's plans to try to replicate its desktop position on the Web are starting to become clearer.

Better Name "Fog Os"

Microsoft: It does something, what that is we're really not sure. It is called cloud on rainy days.

Can't help but think people are missing the point. Firstly this isn't anything new, but lets be chuffed with the new buzz word as it makes us think there is some innovation going on.

What really is happening here, is the big guys know the smaller guys are coming up with some innovative ideas, they control the majority of services, so pick the ideas and reimplement them (usually in a bad way - i.e. MS) and then bring it to the global market as their awesome new idea.

What frustrates me the most is not that Microsoft will implement something others have prior, it's that the restrictions, and the ways it's done, lack common sense quite often, have been overcomplicated, and are often restricting me from what i truely want, and left feeling the effort and fudge factor to implement that 5% is just as hard as doing the lot.... seriously!

Something is coming... and it aint this......!
