It makes perfect sense to have storage space, databases, platforms and applications deployed on the cloud.
It doesn't to me! Or at least I can see difficulties with security, with reliability, with backups. I prefer to have my sensitive data where I can get my hands on it, and where I can control who else can, and how they can. Or am I just paranoid?
You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace C/C++ (I dont see a huge difference between them, and the 'benefits' of C++ are questionable, who needs inheritance when you have copy and paste) - fat_boy
That, regardless of all compelling arguments to the contrary, arguments which I am going to ignore until the "Cloud" is safely tucked away on my local system, is exactly the kind of fear and dread and paranoia that I can support 100%....maybe even more! :-D

From what I read, cloud currently only works for web applications. I would expect it will have a way to similate desktop applications in the future through "plug-in", etc.
