Although i believe this is the future, it creates lots of different views.. i believe in 10 years time 50% of the ICT guys will use Cloud Computing. Even though the there is lots of potential, there are a lot of issues on this day. Security or acceptance or a accepting this new technology being one of them. Would the big company's like microsoft, ibm, governments use this? I believe so, but only in their own datacenters.. does that qualifiy as cloud computing? And is SaaS the same as cloud computing? And what category does Azure fall in. The term Cloud Computing is too general a name, and so the name does not really stand for anything. It's like the general name "Internet". It's funny that you would name the book "Does IT matter", because a few big companies, especially the hospitals are reverting to creating their own power, based on Gas. Gas (in the netherlands) is apparently more stable than the elektrical power output.. the other thing is that in the netherlands, the power DISTRIBUTION is the problem.. charging cars on elektrical power is not possible because the infrastructure couldn't handle it (at this time). mayby a bit far from the subject, but i wanted to show that analogies only go that far.. nice article.
