I can confirm that a TSSOP, non-G microcontroller can be programmed
via mspdebug without issue. You merely have to connect power, ground,
TEST, and RESET and you can program the chip.

Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
