I have been reading a lot about Microsoft finally hitting The Cloud with Office 365. Well, I couldn’t disagree more with that vision. I am not a Microsoft fan, but the true is that Microsoft as always been around. Maybe not in the most brilliant way, not always with integrated products or solution, sometimes with multiple ones addressing the same problem, but definitely with Cloud products (e.g. FolderShare, Mesh, Skydrive). Additionally, Microsoft has the needed expertise for a long time (the updates services?). The only difference is that now, they have decided to professionalize it.  To, finally, build a business around it. Even the time for it, which many consider late when compared to other players, was, in my opinion, thoroughly choosed. Don’t forget that Microsoft in not only changing their business model, they are changing it for all their partner and, believe me, not all of them are adapting well to this new reality.
