Just a question before i get into this. Do you have any experience with cloud computing solutions? Actually using/developing on cloud services at enterprise level?
Edit: Also the reason why i asked about latency was because you added that in. Yet no1 was talking about latency not Ballmer and not the article. Perhaps you were just using the word incorrectly. And im pretty sure the reason why you added in that bit about latency was to make as if MS have some super low latency cloud solution that will allow for all the crap they were talking about using cloud to enhance games which is what this thread is about.

I use Amazon S3 on the daily basis at work. We use it for video hosting and streaming, website hosting, file uploads and transfers and good old user access policy control (DRM) :)

So why did you bring up latency? I'm still trying to figure this out.

Because the article clearly talks about it....

"Azure's average response time was 25 percent faster than Amazon S3, which had the second fastest average time"

Latency + Processing Time = Response Time

It should all come down to latency since I assume Amazon WS isn't using Pentim III's in their servers while Microsoft is using i7 3970K's :)
