I was reading a Fortune Magazine article on how Ray Ozzie is the vanguard of Microsoft’s new Internet Services strategy. It struck me that Microsoft realizes that we’re moving away from the desktop to the “webtop” paradigm, where your data resides in the “cloud” of the Internet, and that we’re moving towards fundamentally new services that leverage the power of the Web.
