Sorry bro that’s not true, we are not talking hotmail here. MS wants to go to cloud computing to harvest information on users of their products like Google does (as wells as control their software ) But that’s not what this ROI was about. I just do not see Google having a real horse in this race, now Oracle I could see.

Does Google have a stand alone mail product that is not handled by their servers?

That is what you said, and that is what I was responding to.
And for your information, we are not talking Gmail either. I wasn't talking about Hotmail. I'm saying that it is apples to apples because both Google and MS have services where the mail, docs, etc. are hosted on their servers and not the customers' own servers.

Furthermore, did you not read my quote from the article...

That means the service provider is hosting their documents. That is what they are looking for.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by, "stand alone mail product that is not handled by their servers". Can you clarify? What web-documents service is there that MS has where the docs are not stored in MS's cloud?
