4. Fully Promote Cloud OS Service Providers
Microsoft is building a network of Cloud OS service providers -- each of which leverage Windows Server, Hyper-V, System Center and Azure pack capabilities. But here's the thing: Cloud OS partners must both compete and cooperate with Microsoft's own cloud services (Office 365, Windows Azure, SQL Azure, etc.). Without continued partner nurturing, Microsoft could wind up killing a few of its Cloud OS alliance members. Don't let that happen, Microsoft.
