That was his "chess move" reply;
When 'cloud' was being popularised in the 90s - Microsoft saw it better to
ignore and milk the cow of Desktop OS/Apps for all its worth,,,
Now the cow is about to reach EOL depopularised by competition; and heavenly
'clouds' are beginning to look more and more like a bright idea ...
Of course since many Windows users dont know such history, they shall be
very happy and congratulate Microsoft for inventing such a 'cheap' scheme
called 'cloud computing';
And Microsoft shall say that they have always been thinking about their
customers ..bla bla..
