But then I'm the guy who sees the holes in cloud services in general and I think the future of cloud computing will not be our friend. It will become another way to keep people chained to a system and it will evolve in that direction as time goes on. It's not that hard to set your own cloud anyway if it's necessary. I set up one, never used it much, took it down. OpenCloud. It was an interesting build.
