Cloud Madness

I really can't see why Microsoft are embracing the Cloud concept. Their dominance is based on the Desktop and if the desktop becomes irrelevant then so will they - perhaps they decided that they can't fight the inevitable but if people are using cloud apps and cloud documents then devices based on alternate OSs will become a whole lot more desirable - it's only their incompatibility with desktop apps that holds them back now. Certainly both Mac and Linux desktops are completely useable and of course Google OS is appearing on netbooks - MS dominance could be at a crossroads here.
