Cloud is vaporware.
Someones wet dream solution for a problem that does not exist.
A problem DOES exist: the need for quarter after quarter profit increases to create value for corporate shareholders. We could have a discussion about the longterm viability of capitolism but this is probably not the proper forum.
Something to think about: Vinyl records were replaced by CD, now people are talking about how great vinyl records are. Apple's iOS had 3D shadowed icons, everybody thought it was great. Now they have flat icons, everybody thinks it's great. In the 70s polyester was the latest thing, 40 years later cotten, silk and other natural materials are the stuff of fine garments. I doubt we'll ever see those shiny, plasticy jumpsuits they used to put in those old sci-fi movies.
I'll put on my rose colored glasses long enough to predict once everything goes to the cloud some "innovator" will come out with shrinkwrapped software and everybody will think it's "great!"
