[dba-Tech] Microsoft bails on Dryad and moved to Haroop

Isn't that statement only half completed? ;-)

In this case I do concur but I would truly like to give them the benefit of

company's stockholders and his days may be numbered

Some fresh blood with fresh ideas could really turn the company around, as
there is so much great talent at the Redmond Campus.
