PDC conference. and in today's keynote,
Ray Ozzie as announced windows new cloud OS called Windows Azure. At a first place it appears the Azure is not what you think of as a traditional OS like Windows XP and Vista that you are use to seeing on your desktop. This OS will be used by Microsoft to host services that business can use to deploy applications to the users over the Internet. one of these new apps is BlueHoo which will be a mobile social network application. current cloud like apps are things like gmail and Amazon.com. So why is this exciting? well for the average user you will not notice much except that more and more software that you would traditionally by on a disk then install it on your computer you will now subscribe to a website and use the services over the Internet. This has two advantages to users. One the user no longer has to buy software and continue to buy multitudes of upgrades through out the life of the software. With the cloud computing users only need to use the service from the website and as new upgrades come out the service will upgrade automatically for you. The second point is the dependence people have one buying bigger and bigger computers to keep up with software. Users now only need to have a computer that will run the Internet and the power needed to run your applications are the responsibility of the cloud and not your home computer. This will make upgrading computers less frequent and cheaper as machines can be less powerful then those needed by people today.
