But it is not MS that worries me in this particular case. At least they don't have anything to offer yet. This: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/2006-03-01/ on the other hand, seems to be getting a lot of traction. As in "people are using it right now" kind of traction. I wish these guys provided 9P as one of the options to access their remote storage resources, but, of course, they don't. And why would they -- FUSE can handle whatever they have perfectly well. Thus, the letter of the "remote resource access via FS semantics" law seems to be perfectly fine, while the spirit, of course, is hopelessly broken. Thanks, Roman.
