Sun's BlackBox project was probably the first one to talk about portable data centers, followed by Google at some point. The interesting thing is that, Microsoft is only talking about it, while Google is barely talking, but working overtime to setup datacenters like crazy all over the US.

The only thing new is that M$ now has wet dreams about a 'new' OS that can do this thing too. So basically these clowns have found another creative way to say "metoo, metoo!". Nobody would be very supriced if a big percentage of those irrecoverable hardware failures would in fact be irrecoverable software failures, the failure being that M$ products were installed...

Since when has microsoft ever taken (stolen) an idea and made it better? bandwagonistas, they are. wow,
