Yes, he did have some rather emotional comments on the subject, but what
does that have to do with this specifically?

 
Take care,

Richard Stallman had a few things to write about concerning cloud
computing and given the adverse security environment the internet has
become it probably would be wise for anyone with information
assurance/privacy interests to find his writing on clouds and read it
before going down that particular road. 
His writing can be found on cnet.com under the title cloud computing is
stupidity.

windows does not support ti, and I know windows explorer doesn't support
it by default.

computers

the
