Judging from the amount of bad press cloud computing has received on the Internet you might be forgiven for thinking you should not touch anything associated with cloud computing.

Google is notorious for waiting around while everyone else is proclaiming its fall, then standing up and kicking its rivals where it hurts most. Can’t think of any cases like that? Well, remember when Microsoft was investing in Facebook?

If you have not been living under the rock for the past week, you must know that Google has announced its own operating system called Chrome OS. Yes, the same name as their Chrome Browser that has only managed to get its fifteen minutes of fame and then faded away.

It seems that lately Microsoft has been trying to (unsuccessfully) adopt some of Apple’s marketing strategies. First, they have launched “Ten Grand is Buried Here” campaign in Australia. Then they’ve tried to convince us, “alternative” browser users, that IE8 is the best you can get, by throwing together some bogus comparison chart.
