Nick Carr thinks that Microsoft might be about to unveil their answer to the cloud computing push:

Put your ears to the ground, my friends, for the Beast of Redmond is stirring. I've heard that Microsoft has begun briefing its large enterprise clients on an expansive and detailed strategy for moving its software business into the cloud. If the report proves correct - and I make no guarantees - the company will unveil the strategy to the public either next week or the week after.

Of course, my question would be this: even if they are about to make this move, will it be as well executed as the Viata rollout? My second question would be simpler: if they are about to do this, then wtf is the Yahoo offer all about? Does the left hand not know what the righ hand is up to? Does it even care?
