The Cloud + Marketing = (new Office comic)

"The cloud" and related terms seem to be the new hotness these days. I wasn't sure what the terms meant, so I read some stuff online. Big mistake.

It took some time to figure out, but near as I can tell, here are what the terms mean…

The Cloud + Marketing = (new Office comic)

Today’s Office comic was inspired by an email from my manager (thanks, Louis!).

Note: the terms described above are real terms. If you’re curious about what they really mean, you can read more about these cloud deployment models on Wikipedia.

Semi-random tip: "The cloud" isn't all hype. My favorite thing to do in the cloud is use the Office Web Apps to view and edit Office documents from my browser.

  • Pinch me please...

    March 25th 2011 (I know this comment is WAAAAAAAY late, sue me..). On a Microsoft official website (its hard to find out by looking up whois on the domain alone; the IP's reveal as much though)...  errrr...  MS official?  Please don't sue me! ;-))   and you're making fun on clouding ?

    Man, this is brilliant. In every positive way that is. Meant with respect here. I know you guys picked up too and started Azure. And no offense nor disrespect intended but I still feel the way portrayed here.  know a few big companies who would then suddenly "silence" stuff like this, but obviously not you. Kudo's there!

    I enjoyed it (yes, late post; just came in, discovered stuff and I feel like posting ;-)).
