Other samplings from the Microsoft world include:

1. Partner Work - Windows HPC Partner- Electric Cloud

2. Microsoft Research Work - TechFest Presentations and Demos

3. Presentations - Democratizing The Cloud, The Cloud Data Center & The CARMEN Science Cloud & Beyond

4. Reference Architecture Work Such as: Cloud based Claims Authentication

There is a lot more out there but this is just a sample of where Microsoft's head is at with Cloud computing. As you can see there is a bit of momentum around this topic.
