I have used the words "Windows Azure-esque" and I have written about .NET specifically, but I recognize and refer to technologies along those lines, technologies which are designed, and have been designed from the beginning, to allow an almost seamless migration from local+remote execution to remote+remote execution with basically glorified web-browser like interfaces for presentation and UI.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
