Microsoft Cloud Patent Filing Meets Resistance
Redmond's attempt to patent the process by which companies move data between clouds isn't terribly popular with vendor Vordel, which provides a "broker" service that...moves data between clouds.
Also, in case you missed it, private cloud functionality is coming to Azure (we think, anyway), a development likely brought on, notes my boss, Doug Barney, by a lack of trust in vendor-run datacenters among IT folks.
