Steve Ballmer announces Windows Cloud OS

“Developers, developers, developers, developers!” Steve Ballmer has just announced limited details about a new Windows Operating System: Cloud. Separate from the upcoming and highly anticipated Windows 7, Cloud is geared toward developers to aid them in writing web-based or cloud-computing applications. While Microsoft has primarily been a desktop-based software company, it is opening up to delivering software via the web, much like Google does. This makes the process less costly, easier for consumers and there is generally less maintenance. For the most part, Ballmer didn’t spill anything else for fear that it would sully the surprise. Thanks for that, Steve.
