Finally watched Ballmer of Borg discuss the Borg's analysis of the multidimensional cloud. While high-level, this is one of Steve Ballmer's better presentations, which is not just lip service since the Borg bankrolled dinner last night. Microsoft truly has some semblance of a cloud strategy, and it's not as evil as it could be thanks to lessons learned during the Browser War. Also, as Ballmer basically says during the Q&A session: competition is good.
On a side note, it's somewhat ironic that the Borg does a better job at delivering their message via the cloud than Cisco (the Matrix?). Microsoft PR makes the video above readily available, and it scales up nicely for viewing on the HDTV. The Matrix makes one register to gain access to something ironically called The Cisco Collaboration Summit, which is downloaded via a creaky mashup of Flash and low-res Windows Media.
