    This isn’t even …
    This isn’t even funny and he’s wrong about cloud computing because it is new and not part of some old transition. Trying to hang with the cool kids and justify years of wasted effort? Pure garbage.

    Regardless of what open source zealots might say, it’s not important for cloud. For clouds to be sustainable they have to make profit which is why companies like Microsoft, Amazon & Salesforce are making it happen. Read the latest Gartner report on how cloud will kill off open source.

    You’re right, but …
    You’re right, but that’s why cloud computing is inevitable. Market forces will drive us there. So why not be prepared? He stated that not all IT is suitable for cloud computing. You’ve got to realize that most people will just want services provided to them. They won’t care that they can provide the services themselves by collecting the needed software. They’ll be happy to turn over control of the software to the service providers.

    What rubbish. Cloud …
    What rubbish. Cloud computing propaganda!

    John McCarthy was talking about stuff like MULTICS was supposed to become but that was before the development of micro-electronics and microcomputers.

    IBM introduced the 3033 mainframe in 1978 but it only had about the power of a 300 mhz Pentium. Today a netbook has 5 times that processing power.

    Cloud computing is about MONEY. Software doesn’t wear out. Nobody wants to sell software that keeps being used for 30 years. How do you profit from that?
