Investing in the future

http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/23/microsofts-money-pit-every-dollar-of-online-revenue-is-wiped-out-by-a-dollar-of-loss/

So remind me again of how cloud computing is suppose to be the future of where all the money is?  Okay okay this is an "investment"... rightttt... in the meantime hopefully that wheezy old traditional software business will hang in there long enough for that online software biz to take off.

Uh huh, I bet you are.  Which is exactly my point.  As someone said today.. the industry is still in the cookie dough stage and we're watching the baking.

All this investing with no profit makes this look like the second coming the ".com Boom", and we all know that fallout comes after the explosion.  It's just going to be "Bubble 2.0".
