Sidekick outage says more about the future of 'Pink' than Microsoft's cloud | |
|

| Time: 09:56 EST/14:56 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

I was (trying to) unplug most of the long holiday weekend, but couldn’t help but read all the headlines about how the Sidekick outage spells trouble for Microsoft’s cloud strategy. I’m not downplaying in the least how serious this outage is or letting Microsoft’s Danger subsidiary — and/or any other companies involved in the loss of users’ data — off the hook. (The latest: The Danger team is now saying that “some” user data might be recoverable, after all.) | ||

| This cloud did not have a silver lining. Good luck in the future with this example being brought forth for a very long to show what can happen when relying on others to do your file saves for you. And since Murphy's law is (seems like) indisputable, the cloud is in for a rough acceptance by many, for a long time to come. |
