Most people didn't realize that MS was pushing the envelope with their purported "Cloud processing tech", which was supposed to be based on Remote processing of a few threads (A.I., Physics, etc) and even had a new programming paradigm for it (based on prioritized threads that could be processed either locally or remotely)

As someone who has done game development (no longer though), I can tell you absolutely nobody is going to do AI or Physics through Microsoft's cloud infrastructure. Absolutely nobody. Never was, and never will. It doesn't make sense.
