Is anyone else as annoyed by the Microsoft "cloud" commercials as I am? In all these commercials, the protagonists say "to the cloud" for their solution, but then when they show them using Microsoft Windows to access "the cloud", they're not using the cloud at all. In fact, in one commercial, the one where the wife/mother is fixing the family portrait, she's using a photoshop-like program on her own desktop, not even the Internet is needed. Not only do they use the term "cloud" incorrectly, they don't even show how using Microsoft products give you and advantage for using "the cloud" AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGH! Okay. Venting over. Whew! I feel better already. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
