You can file this under “Geography Matters”: cloud platform providers are getting savvy about chasing the best tax benefits. If they should end in one state, they can ship the servers to another with better incentives. To that end Microsoft is packing up the Windows Azure platform (Platform as a Service in cloud speak) and moving it out of Washington State since breaks on equipment are no longer available.
I guess Sun had it right when the started thinking about packaging computing power in shipping containers.
