All cloud computing is the re-emergence of the mainframe to terminal model using hte internet as the mainframe. However unlike the mainframe the cloud is inherently insecure(I don’t care what these folks say) and if your internet connection goes down OR there is an internet issue in transit you loose access to your data. This is simply not a good idea from a company known for bad implementations, poor security, and anti-competitive tactics. MS aside this is sitll not a good idea and I will never be an advocate of putting critical and/or sensitive company data of any kind in “the Cloud”.
