Are we talking about a whole new OS here, or simply the version of Windows Server running on Amazon's EC2? (blogged by Werner Vogels/Amazon Press Release).

Basically, running Windows/SQL Server on EC2 is, well, Windows Cloud.

I think, SB just said something he shouldn't to say...
Now developers in MS trying to do "something" which will looks like a "cloud"... Something without a proper share and sometimes raining...

Well, there's been plenty of chatter about it under the "official" codenames of "Red Dog" and "Zurich".

It could mean absolutely anything from an off the cuff comment meaning "it's all up in the air" to suggesting a change of tack in future towards more services being performed "in the cloud".

With something as vague as this, it's not worth speculating. It's easier to guess the number and style of backgrounds that they intend to ship with Windows 7 until they bother to release an actual statement with some information on it.

Well, they didn't actually announce anything. It was just some comments made by Ballmer about an upcoming announcement at PDC. The "Windows Cloud" moniker isn't even an official codename much less an official product name.

You'll likely see the official press release when it's announced at PDC.

Yeah, heard about it on LiveSide. I think it is not something cool like Live Mesh. It is probably for big business, not casual users.

I suspect it's more along the lines of Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
