Efficient Cloud Computing: Winners and Losers

The author clearly has never been behind the scenes at a large entreprise. The idea that all that legacy computing, literally thousands of applications and systems, organically grown and "octopussed" into the fabric of the business, will somehow magically migrate to the cloud is a joke. Yes, selected large applications, over time. But Salesforce was started from the ground up as a cloud-based company. Existing companies will take 10-20 years to make any significant inroads to the cloud.
Agree with Jack Dee, MSFT has the right mix. This is going to be a "on-premises" play (or mix local and hosted) for the foreseeable future.
