That's a great outlook and I agree. With things shifting to the
   cloud the distinctions might matter less as time goes on... but
   only time-will-tell if "the Cloud" takes off.

   The Cloud from my perspective is a return to ancient mainframe /
   dumb terminal... and is super dependent upon all of the
   intervening systems functioning properly. Great for backup
   though. Would I trust a company's operations on it? Not yet.
