Drue Reeves, VP & Research Director for Burton Group Data Center Strategies, discusses the implications of Microsoft's entry into cloud computing - with one of the more useful definitions I've seen of Windows Azure:
"Windows Azure is an application development and runtime environment (.NET in this case), hosted and managed by Microsoft (within Microsoft "owned and operated" data centers), that enables IT organizations and software vendors to offer software as a service (SaaS). To put it more succinctly, Windows Azure is an application platform offered as a service (PaaS)."
