Its amazing to realise that Amazon is as much as software company as it is a retailer. Just as Dell emonstrated the online agility with lean organisation, technology and channel in the 90's Amazons business model has really lead the charge. Add that to the growth of Google and the continued legacy of Microsoft and the battle for hearts and minds of developers and businesses will rage for some time.

Clearly Software as a Service SaaS is morfing, the Cloud is clearly next, but when?
