If you read the original press pitch, it read more than just chalk-talk and there was a lot of promise.

I respectfully disagree – I think these are minor tweaks and not more than that. I am sure, I can take this and turn it around and say: what took you so long guys. Regardless, if the pitch was gauged as just an update, well that would have been a different thing.

As far as the pixie dust: we shall see ;-) See you next time around.

What you characterize as minor tweaks are pretty significant to cloud customers. Little things multiplied by thousands are big things. And every cloud is unique – that’s where we come in.

For us this was the first in a series of conversations about areas in which we are breaking new ground. Come along to the next one, you’ll get a better idea of what we are up to – you might even enjoy the pixie dust. Thanks.
