"You just don't get ahead by doing what everyone else is doing."So if you need accounting or payroll or word processing, the way to get ahead is to go with some "unique solution by a more focused vendor" ?
Good thing there isn't some sort of speed limit to light, creating a delay when playing video games that are housed half a country away. This isn't a problem for some games but lag is noticable enough now, I hate to see it when playing some games on the cloud. Oh, and thank you cloud for forcing me to have to pay a monthly internet bill as well as a likely monthly cloud bill as well, for something I might only want to play once every two months by myself.

The only time cloud doesn't make sense is if you don't want to store sensitive data off-site.
