Microsoft and google have been thinking for a long time. And this shows the Microsoft strategy as well as Google’s.

The success of microsoft in the 90s and noughties, is highly based on they software.

You get yourself a computer and a few servers, and we will provide you with good software. If you cannot get yourself the hardware.. then they cannot be blamed.

This has allowed very successfull decades of good Microsoft software.

But now everyone has a computer, and access to a fast internet connection, the issue now to not have to worry about those old servers any more.

Let them handle the hardware “in the clouds”, we don’t need them anymore. And that seems to be the way Microsoft and Google we be heading.
