I would second this vote to keep cloud security a separate article. Cloud computing has numerous vulnerabilities that are largely unique versus private computer installations (what is the opposite of cloud computing? Surface computing?). Cloud computing vulnerabilities are due to the reduced control and ownership of the equipment, the remote (possibly unknown) ___location, the increased usage of virtualization. There is a high interest in understanding these risks and possible countermeasures. Many consumers, businesses, and governments either delve into a cloud deployment prematurely or overly hesitate for lack of understanding of these issues. Describing these issues in a solid way will be a good amount of work, however. [[Cloud computing]] is already a long article. Adding in a good discussion of cloud security would overload that article.

I would suggest that Cloud Computing Security and Cloud Computing should be kept separately and not merged. Cloud computing is a platform whereas security is an ocean, there are many vulnerabilities that are discovered and yet to be discovered with respect to cloud computing and various platforms that it offers (SaaS, PaaS & IaaS), Virtualization, internal threats are always on a rise and hence there is much more to discover with respect to security and cloud computing security alone, I would suggest to keep it separate.

* '''Oppose merge''' The security issue is a separate nightmare, excuse me, topic altogether. This issue can, and should, be handled in far greater detail than the general article. I supported the merge of the intro & main, but this one needs to be by itself. Going into the level of detail needed here will make the main article very hard to read.
