I think the NASA thing is a non-issue. I’m wondering more what OpenStack and Rackspace think about the new competition for IaaS for private clouds. Presumably both VMware and now Microsoft will offer vertical stacks for private clouds with a path to hybrid clouds. With the VMware approach people worried about lock in and Microsoft even teases about it with their VM-Limited campaign. But, I believe that’s due to the cost of the hypervisor. Now that MS may have a similar approach, are organizations going to be worried about lock in as much if the Hypervisor comes along as value add with their general purpose OS?
