Documenting his eventful life from his love for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLATO_(computer_system)">PLATO</a> system which he discovered as a sophomore studying at the University of Illinois, right through the his time with Lotus Notes, the creation of Groove and finally to joining Microsoft.</p> <p>The article also discusses Ray’s and now Microsoft’s vision for the future regarding cloud computing and <a href="http://azure.com/">Window’s Azure</a>.</p> <p>Even with a twitter-esk overview of Ray in his own words:</p> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><em><strong>I love software, because if you can imagine something, you can build it.</strong></em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><em><strong>I love Windows, because without it there would be no PC. There would be no PC developers. There might not even be a Web.</strong></em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><em><strong>I love the ubiquitous Web because of the connections that it opened up.</strong></em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p align="justify"><em><strong>I love competition. But when we're behind a competitor, I hate it when we find ourselves just chasing their taillights.</strong></em></p> </blockquote> <p>This article really makes me proud to be a Microsoft Employee.</p> <p>The article can be read online <a href="http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/16-12/ff_ozzie">here</a>.<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/domgreen/WindowsLiveWriter/InRayOzzieweTrust_C21B/rayozzie_2.jpg"></a></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:d9ed44cb-3a43-4ee5-84db-07f5c958517f" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Ray+Ozzie" rel="tag">Ray Ozzie</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Azure" rel="tag">Azure</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Cloud+Computing" rel="tag">Cloud Computing</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Window's+Azure" rel="tag">Window's Azure</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Wired" rel="tag">Wired</a></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9184642" width="1" height="1">AzureWindows AzureCloudRay OzzieWired
