Windows 7, Azure and Office 2010 are steps in that direction


Does anyone use Azure? It was years behind everyone else when it was introduced, like most Microsoft "technology" and won't Office 2010 just be another version of Office? Isn't Windows7 just Vista "fixed"?

Rather than take steps in the right direction, it sounds like MS tripping over their own feet trying to get a course correction.


How would you change Office 2010 and Vista 7 (ignore Azure) and not alienating their users.

NOTE: Some people that yell loudly in "Teh Internet" doesn't necessarily translate to MS biggest users.


Wait, Azure's not even live yet, I don't think. And they (like Google) are avoiding the issue with spinning up instances that you have with Amazon's cloud services.


CTP. I just tried testing it. Can't use the SDK unless you have Vista, though.
