When the Microsoft CEO publicly declared “We're all in” on cloud computing in March 2010, he wasn't just referring to Microsoft products and platforms. He also was giving the IT organization a mandate to move to the cloud. Today, Microsoft IT has deployed more than 50 applications on Windows Azure, manages more than 40,000 email boxes and 18,000 personal Microsoft SharePoint sites on Microsoft Office 365, and is expanding the number of employees who are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. http://www.microsoft.com/enterprise/it-trends/cloud-computing/default.aspx#fbid=v4_Bx7NSdiC

Cutting the Fat Out of the Cloud Development Stack - ReadWriteCloud

"The wide availability of cloud computing offers an un-precedented opportunity to rethink how we construct applications," opens the paper Turning Down the LAMP: Software Specialisation for the Cloud (PDF) - an "unashamedly academic" exploration of building custom kernals for the cloud. The papers authors - Anil Madhavapeddy, Richard Mortier, Ripduman Sohan, Thomas Gazagnaire, Steven Hand, Tim Deegan, Derek McAuley and Jon Crowcroft - built a prototype called Mirage to test their ideas. Essentially, Mirage is an extended version of Objective Caml running as a guest operating system in Xen. The authors claim this implementation exhibits "signi?cant performance speedups for I/O and memory handling versus the same code running under Linux/Xen."
