After some effort, the below memorandum on Operation Cloudburst was delivered to and read by Reed Hastings and Norm Judah (the latter Chief Technical Officer for Microsoft). Microsoft as a culture evidently cannot make the intellectual leap from legacy kludge to Open Everything, monetizing the aggregate instead of the instance. This memorandum is the intellectual property of Robert Steele and is now in the public domain under Creative Commons license, with the observation: this is what we need to build based entirely on Open Source software, Open Source hardware, and networks of hybrid paid and volunteer human minds.
