How can any sane person say Microsoft has not delivered anything cloud computing related? That seems similar to saying the sun doesn't exist while staring at it

How can any sane person say Microsoft has not delivered anything cloud computing related? That seems similar to saying the sun doesn't exist while staring at it.
Unless you're blind or have not been paying any attention to Microsoft for the past ~ > 4 years . .
Others have put forward [incomplete] lists of Microsoft's various 'cloud' services and I'll add one.
Microsoft Azure. Hell, wasn't there a story on the frontpage of HN a day or so ago that iCloud uses it? I haven't read much into it so it may be a rumour.

The moment someone like Apple starts running a MS-based stack... well, I'd stay inside for fear of airborne pigs. Let's see - a company that is solidly 'nix (to the point where their own desktop OS is POSIX), who has zero track record of building anything using a MS stack, is suddenly going to use MS's cloud offering, despite there being as-good (more likely, better) 'nix based solutions? Mmm. I'm willing to put money on that one :)
