It’s also got a lot to do with money.
Microsoft, for one, is trying to curtail the piracy issue and sees the cloud as a way to keep the dollars flowing into their accounts and NOT the pockets of bootleggers.

“Cloud” computing is only becoming de rigeur in retail markets due to the proliferation of thin client technologies in business.
VMWare’s VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) is the latest in “cloud computing” utilizing large SANs like those available from EMC. They see how well it works in multi-national business, the control it gives them, and now they’re working to exert control over the masses in the same way.
I, for one, will be keeping my data local. I have a few terabytes of backup space and two Ultrium tape drives running full and incremental backups every day. I trust myself more the MS, EMC, and Cisco.

What if the government could turn off all your credit cards - and notify grocery stores not to sell food to you? They’ll have that ability - and soon. Fighting totalitarian control freaks of either party has NEVER been more important than now... we won’t get a second chance.
