Microsoft said yesterday that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Siberian government which could see the software giant park its latest data centre on a remote, sub-arctic part of Russia. The city of Irkutsk has been pinpointed as a possible location for Microsoft's latest data-pumping farm. Perhaps the firm has been eyeing up the Siberian city as a possible location from which it can spit out web-based apps to the masses because of its favourable weather conditions, which could provide natural cooling to the data centre.
Here id what comes to mind: Why is MS diverting like this? What is it up to? Is this the final push to total Web based MS Applications? Is this the last weapon ion Microsoft's toolbox to deal with Software piracy? MS is so rich that if they gave away all their software to all their clients for free, they can continue for decades! Why are they so preoccupied with deal with piracy (Must be Gates paranoia), but they do not have the same attitude about fixing Security holes and Bugs that are rampant in their 'selling' software? Windows XP, after seven years, still has security holes the size Mr. Gates Estate in Seattle. I am not even going to talk about Vista and all the problems that comes with. Problems that could have been solved before it's release. They prefer to work on those unnecessary / or at least low priority tasks, but not allocate their time to the 'real' problems at hand. Way to go Microsoft. You are in a downward Spiral - and you can't even feel it. Granted, it is a slow one. But definitely a downward move.
