== Web Services are not "Utility Computing" ==

Line 5 ⟶ 16:

There is some confusion in the products / spam listed here. It is my understanding that with Cloud Computing it is the actual computing services that are being offered. The company sells you CPU time to run whatever programs you want to run.

Cloud computing is different from web services. With Web Services, the web server is simple responding to a specifically formatted request with a specifically formatted reply. Web Services are standard client-server model, not capable of generic computing. Therefore I am removing links to pages dealing with web services.<small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:GreatTurtle|GreatTurtle]] ([[User talk:GreatTurtle|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/GreatTurtle|contribs]]){{#if:{{{2|}}}|&#32;{{{2}}}|}}.</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

: I disagree. Utility computing is being used in the industry to refer to any on-demand computing resource that is offered by a pay system that is usage based (whether that is infrastructure or an application). Salesforce.com is frequently cited as one of the notable early companies that offer a Utility Computing service[http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39170736,00.htm], and their offering is entirely a web-based service. -- [[User:Bovineone|Bovineone]] 05:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

== Virtual organization ==

"Virtual organization" sounds like a buzzword to me. I'm not sure it is being used correctly here. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] 04:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

==Google and Apple Partnering on Cloud Computing?==

watch the following scenes of the movie at

http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid452319854?bctid=958522224<br />

3:13 - 4:55<br />

6:06 - 6:15<br />

7:08 - 8:08<br />

And this link: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid452319854/bctid958522224

Are Google and Apple partnering on cloud computing??? (!)

: I think so too. The question is whether other service providers like zoho and edeskonline will survive the biggies : Should we include their names on the article ? [[User:Sanjiv swarup|Sanjiv swarup]] ([[User talk:Sanjiv swarup|talk]]) 07:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
