Feh. These numbers are meaningless--probably includes the salaries of every IBMer involved plus his/her dog.
And I thought Linux was the answer for IBM? Are they replacing those multi-$B Linux data centers now? Yes, I realize the Cloud could be built on Linux, and that it could also be parallel -- my point is, again, that these numbers are meaningless in isolation. The semiotics are really "IBM thinks Cloud is important, film at 11".
