I don't mean that sarcastically either. Finally a company that seems to be smart about the cloud. The cloud is not yet ready for prime time and if it does get read for prime time it will have a niche but not be the final solution.
I am waiting for data ownership to swing towards the people who actually generate the data.
Sensible tech support to keep services, storage, and applications up and running.
Long term data retention and long term data accessibility need to be addressed.
Sensible data maintenance like back up strategies and realistic exit strategies for when a vendor goes out of business.
These are things that the cloud needs to tackle before it will be ready for prime time. Tell me as the consumer, I am responsible for my own back ups, my own exit strategy, I have to live with crap support, and suck up losing IP rights and privacy to my data is not going to get me to jump on the cloud any time soon.
