The new tech war is on for the Cloud operating system. Current leaders are Amazon and Google. But Microsoft are getting serious. Will they be too late? Planned release for their Azure platform is end of 2009. They weren't first in most of the other areas they have come to dominate so this battle is going to get really interesting.
Who else will enter the war? IBM, Oracle, SAP, Cisco...
Is Salesforce.com actually a contender for a leading platform or really just a good application solution?
