Click Start to shut down and Cloud Computing is Azure

Who’s running the show at Microsoft? Windows XP’s Start button is what you click to shut down the computer. Click Start to Shut Down. Apple hits Windows hard with the I’m a Mac and I’m a PC television commercials, and Microsoft responds with I’m a PC commercials, which totally miss the point. Microsoft’s soon-to-be-released cloud computing system is called Windows Azure.

azure |ˈa zh ər|
adjective
bright blue in color, like a cloudless sky

noun
1 a bright blue color.
• poetic/literary the clear sky

Only Microsoft would misname such an important initiative. Who’s running that place?
