2010 was a tumultuous year for Microsoft's cloud leadership. First, there was the departure of Ray Ozzie who was the brains behind Azure - the most comprehensive cloud platform around. Then came the somewhat unexpected announcement that Bob Muglia would be leaving the company in 2011. What do the back-to-back exits of two of the most respected executives portend for Microsoft's cloud future? How will giant Microsoft compete and keep giving the cloud upstarts a run for their money? I spoke with Microsoft's GM of Azure to get the straight story.

Matt Thompson is a General Manager of Developer & Platform Evangelism at Microsoft. Based in Silicon Valley, he and his team look after the "care and feeding" for the communities of developers, startups and IT Pros across the western US. I spoke with Matt about the evolution of Platform-as-a-Service and Microsoft's cloud strategy. Matt explained what is exactly meant by Microsoft's "Services plus Software" and Steve Ballmer's "We are all the in cloud" messages. He shared valuable information about current and future product-line strategies and roadmaps and how they align with Microsoft's overall cloud vision.
