MJMurphy,

Sorry, as a Microsoft employee I think of all people you would understand what it’s like not to get a response for days.

As for the question, welcome to my blog, I hope you read more than one post someone sent to you out of the blue, I have repeatedly mentioned why I was not at WPC this year.

As for that being some sort of an indication that I am somehow not informed, unless the keynotes broadcast via Digital WPC were somehow different from the ones seen live…

Thanks for reading the blog.

ok, ok, let’s see, “S+S” ” Saas” “the cloud”, this is all beginning to make my head hurt. I am a simple guy running an electrical contractor in the UK and a client of OWN (albeit in a small way). Now, from a clients perspective, why should I trust “the cloud” or whatever else you must all call it, with my data? In my hand I have an image of our server, in someone elses hand away from here there is a duplicate and I also have off site with OWN. I know where my data is and I can feel safe. How can I trust “the cloud”? What if you go bang? Where will my data be? I know I am just a small guy, but I need faith…..

Microsoft changed their strategy and it was their strategy to change. I commend you for offering an alternative and hope others realize that just because things change it doesn’t mean everyone will follow.

I for one am heading with the alternative in OWN. Not to spite with Microsoft or Google but to offer what I believe I would offer my clients if I built it myself. People don’t worry about bits and bytes, clouds or wires, they worry about doing their job. I just want to make that easier in exchange for profit. Why is that so foreign to so many people who feel threatened by Microsoft and SaaS?

Gareth,

I agree with you completely, it is what it is. However, it would be far easier for me, my partners and seems like a lot of people if Microsoft got this figured out and fixed quickly, instead of the usual 3.0 cycle. So while I see it exactly as you do, I have to try and ask.

After all, thats what partners are for. To tell you when you are making a mistake so you don’t continue to run through the wall head first.

We’ll see.
