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.
