  OpenP2P.com: Hailstorm: Open Web Services Controlled by Microsoft

HailStorm is Microsoft's most serious attempt to date to move from competing on unit sales to selling software as a service, and the announced intention to allow any sort of client to access HailStorm represents a remarkable decentralization for Microsoft.
