Good post, Dave. Glad to see someone else defining this stuff in plain
english. My comments along with your thoughts can be found here: http://www.mikedipetrillo.com/mikedvirtualization/2009/04/the-five-
defining-characteristics-of-cloud-computing.html.
Don't worry about the other commenters saying your thoughts are
horrible. They're the typical road blockers we say when virtualization was
just coming about. They'll learn to adapt or they'll be left behind just like
what happened with virtualization.
Keep up the great work!
