I am dubious about having people I can't control taking care of the stuff that I make (where I do have control currently). And frankly, until the web becomes hacker-proof (which I don't see EVER happening. Someone always builds a better mousetrap...) I don't think companies will be lining up to do it either ;). A lot of them have trade secrets which I'm positive they don't want winding up in the wrong hands, other companies, the government, or whatever. LOL. Almost every place I worked had trade secrets, I had to sign NDAs and couldn't even work for the competition for at least two years after my time with them was over. So, unless a miracle happens, I dunno how that's gonna fly. Aside from that, most places I've worked have also had custom software, which is harder to get working on an OS you can't really customize or maniuplate I would think.

Whatever is on the cloud is accessible and is out of the owners hands, for anyone willing to put in the time and effort to get to it ;). Someone that's motivated will do anything and everything to get to it until they do. How many times have we seen it already?
