: 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)
