I think we should discuss centralized computing... cloud computing is simply a buzzword for a flavor of centralized computing. Basically it's a fancy "futuristic" name that these upstart companies use because it is much easier to market. Technically, the differences are pretty insubstantial. The only difference I can think of is that the network is bigger. Software is stored on a central server, and computers access it via a network. --[[Special:Contributions/72.39.35.178|72.39.35.178]] ([[User talk:72.39.35.178|talk]]) 16:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
* '''Strongly Disagree''' for reasons that should be obvious, not the least of which is 15,600,000 hits for 'cloud computing', 62,000 for 'centralized computing'. USPTO also just declared cloud computing both descriptive and generic which would suggest that the term (which appears in at least one dictionary already) is here to stay. Furthermore, there are both distributed and centralized aspects to cloud computing, particularly when you start talking about peer-to-peer applications (which have no place at all in centralized computing). I'm surprised we're having this discussion at all but nonetheless since you've suggested (twice now) that [[cloud computing]] be merged into [[centralized computing]] it belongs on the latter's [[Talk:Centralized computing|talk page]].

== Potential advantages ==
Doesn't this section should include something about scalability and fail recovery potential advantages?[[User:Orimosenzon|Orimosenzon]] ([[User talk:Orimosenzon|talk]]) 22:08, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
