Exactly. I'm so tired of hearing 'cloud' attached to anything. A cloud
is a bunch of servers in one or more datacenters. I guarantee many of
you woud be shocked to see some 'cloud' services - I've seen ones
running on desktop PCs, shoved haphazardly into racks, fronted by a
fancy looking website and some VC funding. Also, file storage is a far
bigger problem to solve than server image storage, and usually
requires a completely different design in the 'cloud'.
