Pretty kool datacentre

Hi All,

Just seen this news article on the BBC website.

Microsoft sinks data centre off Orkney - BBC News

Instead of investing in new cooler processor technology they decide to warm the ocean with the old. Okay, it's just an experiment. Interesting?

Seems like a gimmick (too much money and time on their hands) to me, placing an expensive "data center" in a environment which cannot be repaired nor upgraded.

Defiantly worth exploring as a concept.
Innovation beats buying other companies.

I do not think it's meant to be upgraded too much.
More like an applianceSmilie.
Perhaps useful in space exploration, spying and such...
