Im with you. I don't get why I would want to put my data on someone else's server and subject to the speed and availability of my internet access. Like so many new technologies I think it is totally oversold. It has its place - but not for many if not most businesses - once they get over the hype.

I see it as a way for google, microsoft and the like to get your data and for governments to watch what you're up to. This is just putting all your confidential documents on a server, someone else's server? Al -----Original Message----- The real action for Microsoft might come from its improved Window Server 8 OS, which should give commercial versions of Linux and Unix OS(s) like Redhat, SUSE, and Macs running osX more competition. Window Server 8 also targets VMware and other proprietary offerings from hardware/software giants like IBM and HP. It will also compete with third parties that offer cloud computing; because, it offers the cloud within an enterprise.
