Recently, an Ars Technica article pointed out that, while Microsoft is in a strong position to push its web presence, it needs to act fast if it wants to be a part of cloud computing. A completely agree, but this could really be said of a lot of companies and of open source software.

Right now, only a small handful of companies really have their foot in the water, or, more accurately, the cloud. These companies are Google, Adobe, Mozilla, and perhaps a couple more. Apart from those companies, everyone needs to act fast – including open source software.

Just like if Microsoft does not move fast they will be left out, if open source software does not move into the cloud, it will be left out. We need to make sure that does not happen.
