Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer spoke to University of Washington computer-science students, and also launched a company-wide e-mail showing Microsoft's commitment to the future of computing. According to Seattle pi blogs, Ballmer,
in his e-mail, said that other companies have defined the cloud in a narrow, one-dimensional way.
"Today, I spoke to a group of students and faculty at the University of Washington to discuss how cloud computing will change the way people and businesses use technology.
"My goal was to challenge people to look at the cloud more broadly and understand the multidimensional nature of the cloud transformation happening today. Other companies have defined the cloud in a narrow, one-dimensional way. Although these companies provide some interesting components, Microsoft is uniquely delivering on a wide range of cloud capabilities that bring increasingly more value to our customers."
