It may not be right for VMware to say that Microsoft is "reluctant" to move to the cloud, but it is accurate to say that Microsoft is protecting its "enormous Windows-based revenue stream" with its cloud strategy.

Of course, Server Core is just one installation option for Windows -- Hyper-V can absolutely be managed via a GUI. And also, I'm pretty sure Azure counts as Microsoft having at least SOME interest in the cloud, heh. Oh well, I bet they're still being more polite to each other than Spike and Reggie.
