They also have a new partnership (Feb 2010) with NSF to provide Azure cloud infrastructure to researchers.

I wanted to check it out at their web site, but it insisted that I upgrade to the latest version of Silverlight before they would deign to show my any of their content. Some people spend hours trying to get page-glances turned into users with minimal impedance; some people apparently do the exact opposite.

I see an option for viewing html only, which loads up a flash video. Seems fine to me...

Interesting timing. I guess they want to steal some press from Google.

OTOH, they already have lots of press today for the Salesforce suit.

I guess they prefer favorable press.
