Will sony hacking hacking hit cloud computing hard?

We at Microsoft, always scope the case to set expectation.  Intel server platform was and is predominantly Microsoft  NOS.

Microsoft has come up with Hyper –V technology for Intel Xeon and AMD Optron Server class processor. Due to the availability of 64 bit processor the memory handling capacity has gone up, so we have the concept of Cloud Power, today. QDR In finiband, DDR3 has made it possible.

A dual hex Xeon Processor having clock speed of 3.0 Ghz per core is like having 36 .0 Ghz processing power!! So virtualization is possible on Microcomputer which requires a NOS, Windows 2008R2 Supports Hyper- V

I agree with Joydeep. Though, I'd like to mention that Microsoft is NOT the creator of Cloud Computing.

And I agree particularly with Mr. Raju, since the market has tasted the cost and service advantage, the number of adopters will continue to increase. 

The solution to technical difficulties and issues is always possible as Mr. Raju says. Though, I fear that it would be a little easier to shutdown or put pressure on small operators via pressure on the cloud service provider. 

Of course, I expect that there are a lot of brainy people who have already solved the above issue. And are still running their business.

I support Joydeep on this count.There is always a risk in any venture,even your life is full of risk. It does not mean new technology should be abandoned.
