mention office suites

There should be a mention here about online office suites : they being examples of cloud computing Sanjiv swarup (talk) 01:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I would agree with that. The Register

provides a good reference. Lester 21:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Introductory sub section

The foll. line is meaningless.

Common visualizations of a cloud computing approach include, but should not be considered to be limited by, the following:

I request someone to dele this line .

WTF?

The first sentence of the article conveys no meaning or significance or reason. What?--Shtove (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the rest of the article doesn't do much to explain the topic, either. I'd like to slap this with an expert-subject tag, because cleanup and clarification cannot take place if the subject matter is unintelligible in the first place. I'd like to remove the spam tag, since the references seem to point to decent sources, and the external links has its own tag. Any objections to this?

Given it is currently a marketing term, why not focus not on defining what it is -that is too vague- but in the growth of the term? SteveLoughran (talk) 21:25, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

100% agreed. Fixed now. samj (talk) 08:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

SETI@home/Folding@home/etc.?

After reading through this article, I feel more confused than before regarding Cloud Computing. Since "Cloud" measn the general internet, so does distributed computing projects like SETI@home and Folding@home belong to the concept of Cloud Computing? As I understand from the article, they are basically raw computing power coming from the cloud to solve a problem, so are they cloud computing or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ufopedia (talk • contribs) 08:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Added per your suggestion - it doesn't matter whether the computing is done on a grid, by the neighbour's screensaver or a room full of monkeys... that abstraction is one of the fundamental features of cloud computing. samj (talk) 09:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
