Please stop putting word in my mouth; I said a good majority of people on forums... I did not say nobody understand it and never talked about this article.
Also this article is right in many areas but also wrong in others.

We are using the Azure to power our game (Silverlight client) and I think I understand how it works better than someone who is just reading the internet (IE: you).
I will not lie and pretend that we are using it for any rendering tasks, but we are using it in many scenarios, mainly for background aysynchroneous tasks, NPCs tasks scheduling (living world) and few other things.

We can arg about Microsoft claim being big or not... But this is exactly my point; haters sticking on PR stuff and disregarding the potential (this is very convenient).. It would be easy to just look at any PR claim (from any companies) and find the claim being a bit over-exagerated (I will not give you some very good exemples from the past years:)).

If this is actually your point, arguing that companies' PR are mainly exagerating their message to the public; I agree with that... But stop pretending that Microsoft is the only one doing that or that this particular one about cloud processing is pure bullshit...


How am I pretending they're the only ones to do that? If you know that much and I know so little, because i'm just a common internet reader, by all means, prove a point.  You make all those baseless claims without supporting what you're saying...

So... because you say so, was it?  

MS claimed the XBO is 10 times more powerful than the 360. And using cloud processing, it will be 40 times more powerful than the 360. Now, PR or not, they said that during their reveal event. So forgive me if I'm skeptical of this, and that you see me as an unknowledgeable person for that. 

Something wrong with your eyes or did you reply too quickly without even reading?

Just said I agree with the fact that they are over exagerating (but certainly not completly bullshiting like you seem to believe)... Are you going to just copy/past this in all your replies from now on just because you expect me to tell you that this is pure BS? Will not happen...
And like you with your claims; there is nothing we can do to prove it right or wrong; the only thing is thatin my mind they know better than any internet reader for sure what they are doing :)

As far the supporting my claims; what do you want lol. Me to share some "super cool" code source? or to do a nice demo application?
No; just ignore my claims if you do not believe them.

But again, as an internet reader; I'm pretty sure you can Google for a lot of exemple actually showing off what you can do with cloud processing.

Indeed I know plenty about what you can do with cloud processing. The kind of processing power boost MS is claiming it will give the XBO isn't one of them. Not in the internet's current situation.

But it's good to know that you admit to be blindly believing them.
