What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is a category of computing solutions in which a technology and/or service lets users access computing resources on demand, as needed, whether the resources are physical or virtual, dedicated, or shared, and no matter how they are accessed (via a direct connection, LAN, WAN, or the Internet).

Overall, we expect 80 percent of Microsoft line-of-business applications to be cloud-based by 2016.
