Microsoft Kumo - New Cloud Computing Site?

Kumo which means "cloud" may soon become the new branding of Microsoft's Live Search in 2009 and beyond. Microsoft has been snapping up all known variants of Kumo such as .com, .net, .jp, and so on. Right now, its pure speculation on what the Redmond, Washington based giant wants to do with the new name and site.

Kumo which means "cloud" also means spider in Japanese. Both of these two keywords point to "search". However, what if they aren't looking at rebranding Live? What else could it be? Perhaps something we've never seen before.
