A plan by IBM to launch an industry-wide 'open' cloud computing strategy has seemingly backfired amid accusations of closed deals. Google pulled out after signing up and Amazon said it would not get involved. Microsoft criticised the plan, saying it was given two days to sign up to a "secret" manifesto with no input. "We had concerns about process and governance that led us to question IBM's intentions," Microsoft's Steve Martin told BBC News.    (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
