Well Naturally

Because as we all know MS is all about openness, standards, and interoperability. Same way there is a santa clause and easter bunny, oh and the same way the moon really is made of cheese. You know the MS drone blathering on about the lack of openness in this "cloud manifesto" is really quite funny as I'm absolutely sure that they would be singing it's praises from on high if the closed and locked in "standards" they are currently complaining about were in fact practices/technologies/"standards" that were coming directly out of microsoft's own labs.

After all MS looooves to blather on about openness and standards and interoperability, so long as those things originate with MS, fit within their convoluted notions of those ideas (which are totally different than any other definition), and of course which are still branded/licensed/totally controlled by redmond.

Paris cos she knows more about the true meaning of open standards than MS ever will.
