Hi James,

Azure and Oslo may have been revealed at the same PDC event, but at this point they are pretty far away from connecting. The Oslo work could apply to cloud computing, but in the same way that a new encryption algorithm could. Not in an intrinsically cloud-specific way. So it seems strange to me to relate Oslo to Microsoft's PaaS offering.

I have many more comments about Oslo (mostly from a modeling and IT management perspective, not clouds) if you're interested:

BTW, Dion Almaer doesn't work for Google anymore (his "about" page wasn't up to date, apparently). Check the comments on Nick Carr's post.
