Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer was asked who their main competitors right now? According to him:
- Google (cloud apps)
- Apple (building cloud data center)
- Oracle (cloud hosting software)
- VMware (cloud server everything)
- open source (Linux, Firefox) (cloud server everything)
As you can see, I filled in where some are excelling in cloud computing. That’s what he said during All Things Digital’s D8 tech conference earlier today . Ballmer and Microsoft’s chief software architect, Ray Ozzie, sat down with ATD co-editor Walt Mossberg on the second day of the confab in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.
