    I saw Chris' post on the Windows Persephone announcement at PDC and one or two minor threads since then... am I missing the big Code Project Windows Azure thread? I'd have thought you guys would be all over this like fleas on a rat... in the clouds... that twitters... and has services and stuff... .net... umm. So... Azure is like Amazon's web-services but implemented with Microsoft tech. Yeah? Anything ground breaking I am missing?

    cheers, Paul M. Watson.

    It's the name ... Windows Azure. It's too ... too ... fluffy. No one wants to discuss fluffy. If they had called it Windows Black Magic or Windows Storm, we'd be on it like pack of wild dogs on a 3 legged cat ... but ... Windows Azure ... even OSX sounds way cooler than that ... What's next!?!?! ... Windows Rainbow!?!?! Ugh.

        Whenever I hear Persephone, I think of Beachcombers (long-running Canadian series). That was Nick's boat's name.

        I vaguely remember it being on South African telly. We watched it. Probably because there was nothing else to watch.

                I'm waiting for Windows Feng Shui, where you have to re-arrange your icons in a manner which best enables your application to run.

                      Which is why I don't like pomegranate.

                      Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river which gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your client provides no concrete or steel, only timber and cut stone (but they won't tell you what kind). The coefficient of gravity changes randomly from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer
