Microsoft Wants Clear Cloud Computing Legal Framework

Microsoft Wants Clear Cloud Computing Legal Framework
Microsoft Corp. appears to be concerned with privacy and security issues in the cloud computing domain so much that it wants the US Government to step in to formulate rules for governing the same.
Brad Smith, the software giant’s General Counsel, called on the US Congress to intervene to put in place a new “Cloud Computing Advancement Act”, which would lay out clear rules and policies to ensure privacy and safety in the cloud computing sphere.

Interesting initiative from Microsoft which shows that the company is really looking forward to embracing cloud computing, if there was any doubt left. We’re certainly convince that others might back Microsoft’s attempt to clear out any legal issues that might arise as Cloud computing becomes more popular.
