  Some of you will have noticed that I have been conspicuously silent over the
  last three or four weeks. I have spent much of that time airborne, or in
  interviews at Google, Microsoft, and DARPA.
  
  After a fair bit of soul-searching, I have decided to accept a fairly senior
  position at Microsoft associated with the Midori project. The current plan
  has me starting there at the beginning of August.
  
  This means, among other issues, that we will be wrapping up the BitC
  project. While I will be trying hard to get all of the planned features for
  the initial release completed before I depart, that may not turn out to be
  possible. I have asked Microsoft if we can keep the various web sites alive
  for archival access and the mailing list, but I should also ask if there is
  anyone out there who would be interested to assume more active stewardship
  of the BitC project. I emphasize that unless management at Microsoft
  concludes otherwise, I will no longer be able to participate actively in
  these discussions. Also, in the event that MS does not permit archival
  maintainence, would somebody be willing to take over hosting the content?
  
  I have also asked MS for permission to publish papers about BitC on my own
  time. They granted this permission to Swaroop, and I see no reason that they
  should decline this, but my position there is a bit more sensitive and they
  may see issues that I do not.
  
  In the meantime, I need to get back to packing and hacking.
  
  Best regards,

  It seems there's going to be war in the cloud computing world in 2010. IBM is coming out with LotusLive Engage and we all know that Google and Microsoft are going to be competing too.
  
  Apparantly the cloud computing market is worth $120 Billion so I think we can expect a lot to happen in 2010 in this area.
  
  Personally I think Google will win as they've pretty much been in the markety since 2007 with their Google apps.
