Former Microsoft evangelist and blogger, Robert Scoble, says Microsoft’s CTO, Ray Ozzie is planning a similar service to Amazon S3 :

“Amazon S3 charges right now about $.15 per gigabyte of stuff delivered. Watch what happens after Ray Ozzie jumps into the market. I bet that by late 2008 the cost per gigabyte delivered will be about 1/10th that.”

Dave Winer agrees — from a “future-safe” perspective : “The more the merrier. I’ll use them both. What are the chances that both Microsoft and Amazon go out of business? We’re starting to approach future-safeness.”

There’s nothing quite like an overkill of riches, it seems. Except, perhaps, a little peace once in while.
