Automaticc’s Matt Mullenweg appeared on stage, together with Microsoft’s CTO Ray Ozzie during their Professional Developers Conference. Ray was talking about Microsoft’s latest foray into the cloud computing niche called WindowsAzure.
According to reports, WindowsAzure will let Microsoft’s corporate clients to write code on a cloud-based OS running on Microsoft’s data centers. WindowsAzure is about to go live sometime in January. It’s obviously a paid service which will have business corporations as the main clients.
But what was Matt’s business there?
Is Matt a customer or a collaborator? Either way it doesn’t seem fitting. We all know that Matt is an open-source advocate, having built WordPress on top of various open-source architecture platforms.
Will WordPress be one of WindowsAzure’s offerings?

Here is the transcript from the event:

Appreciate it for a really very clear and helpful submit. I am most certainly a violator of lots of these principles. I regularly find personally conflicted when creating a weblog article because I see myself writing greater than men and women prefer to go through, but I really feel that I will need to do the subject matter proper rights by completely masking it. I believe that by subsequent a few of these rules I conclude up lowering out very important factors on the dialogue. I guess you will have to locate a stability.
