The funny thing is that cloud computing could actually KILL Microsoft's business.

Windows is a program destined to work in your personal computer and be flexible for most things you want to do, presenting them in easily accesible windows that can be opened/closed/moved, etc.

But if you enter the world of cloud computing, then you might as well have a very simplified form of basic interface in your desktop, while everything else you execute is in the remote server and owned by the creator. Once you start using that remote server, you can move to their interface, etc. (Because the program owner can create it directly in C++ or whatever language and remotely install the libraries in your PC, or simply run it fully there and let you just "see" it, i.e. your PC is nothing but a window to their desktop. And as such, he doesn't need MS windows at all) so the only thing for which you really need software on your desktop is to connect to the internet. Which renders Windows mostly useless
