The Cloud - battle of the Titans

Read this article in Bloomberg.  A long article, it looks at some of the strategic and structural issues of moving to the Cloud.  I like the analogy at the end - computing is like electricity generation.  Most companies now have their computing power in-house but soon they will realise that it's better to get one of the big suppliers to do it so them - it gives more capacity and ultimately, is cheaper and more reliable.  Includes brief mentions of data security concerns.
