Netmouse,

I still think he misses the main structural point -- it's not about existing large corporations having access to these kinds of cloud-based services. The real revolution is that I as an individual programmer working by myself at home can make use of cloud computing to build massively scalable applications. No IT staff required.

Seems OK to me (though if I get a virus you'll get a call ;-) Tim Bray's piece was indeed interesting. So interesting, in fact, that I wrote a piece for Python Magazine inspired by it. I took his mentions of "computing in the cloud" to be references to Amazon and the App Engine. Do you think I was wrong?
