Cloud Computing is a major development and will have profound implications for hosting and application development. But it is important that we clearly define what it is and--perhpas more importantly--what it is not.

Some people are a bit sensitive if one does not believe that a particular solution or technology with which they are enamoured is imperfect. Cloud Computing is a major development and will have profound implications for hosting and application development. But it is important that we clearly define what it is and–perhpas more importantly–what it is not.

Be well,
Jeff Hardy
