The comparison is not an exact index of "hyping," mainly for fun. From the search hits, however, we can have a good sense of how much effort each company has invested in promoting cloud computing. I agree with you that Microsoft is mentioned in almost all IT related websites. I think these sites didn't associate Microsoft with cloud computing by themselves, but Microsoft itself promoted the cloud messages to these sites. I think a little hyping is not a bad thing especially in the early stage of a disruptive technology. The general public needs information on cloud computing anyway. -Steve Thanks a lot for your comment!

Compare "cloud computing" and "cloud" combined with site:vmware.com and site:microsoft.com and you'll see that VMware and Microsoft aren't that far apart. Besides, it's VMware whose main page and most non-technical subsites have cloud here, cloud there, cloud everywhere in the typical marketing-hype manner.
