Microsoft launch Cloud Computing and Office 365
Here is what they say -
Cloud computing is simply subscribing to various IT services, such
as email, CRM

(customer relationship management) systems or web
conferencing, which are provided by a third party.
You will pay a monthly charge depending on how many PCs you have but
it means that you don’t have to worry about your IT – you can focus
on your business instead. You pay for what you want at the time that
you need it, and if your requirements change, you simply change your
subscription. It’s also easier to manage your cashflow and you don’t
need upfront capital investment.
