: 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.

== Cloud services ==

The mention of Amazon here seems to be advertising. There are at least a thousand other such Vendors. The author of this para should simply insert a DMOZ link here for a lit of such vendors.

Disagree - I do not believer there are thousands of computing clouds available at this time. See "Google and the Wisdom of Clouds" from BusinessWeek: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_52/b4064048925836.htm

Disagree as well, Amazon is one of the archetypes in cloud computing as well as a very early leader. Amazon is regarded as one of the companies (along with Google) to illustrate and execute cloud computing's potential.

Disagree as well. Anyone can expose a web service. It takes security, scalability, support, billing, etc. to make is a real ''cloud service''.
