Microsoft's Hey say Hey ! Grid here we come

Microsoft is Not going to be left behind like it did with the internet few years(decades) ago. It is working on the grid initiative. But it is also going where the money is, rather than computing grids (which is the flavor of the time), it is focusing on Data Grids.

Microsoft is creating a "Cluster Compute" version of Windows and intends to work more closely with grid industry standards bodies, Tony Hey, the company's corporate vice president of technical computing, said in an interview with CNET News.com on Tuesday.

Glad to see another grid blog out here! What do you think Tony Hey's remarks say about the CCE? CCE isn't data grid; it's straight up compute cluster. Is that a completely separate effort from Microsoft's grid initiative?
