    Im happy to wait for Microsoft to move to the cloud. The UK's internet infrastructure cant support it at the moment so by the time Microsoft have done their cloud based OS; perhaps Microsoft Cumulus 2018, I'll think about the cloud.

    I'm quite happy to sit back and watch 'the cloud' inevitably fail.

    Change for the sake of change is just as brain damaged as rehashing a tried and failed computing model.
