::Yes, it's an old girl tarted up to look like a peach. "Thin clients", diskless workstations that relied on central computing cores and storage were displaced by the cheap and powerful desktop workstations that became available in the 2000's, and now we're seeing the same old players trying to sell their failed architecture wrapped up in new buzzwords... And at a time when desktop computers are smaller, less expensive, and more powerful than ever. The real intent can be seen when one "follows the money"... Direct corporate control of access to content. {{<small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:131.215.115.311|131.215.115.311]] ([[User talk:131.215.115.311|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/131.215.115.311|contribs]]) 22:53, 31 March 2014‎ (UTC)}}</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

: (Not authored by previous paragraph writer) So again, my two cents: 'Cloud computing' covers a lot of ground and frequently means different things to different people. This article might benefit from serving as a overview or disambiguation article, with new individual article covering specific sub-areas of 'cloud computing.' Broadly, four areas leap to mind: Data storage, application usage, networking, and data management. They might roughly map to IAAS, SAAS and PAAS but I'll leave that for true Wikipedians to decide. :-) Thanks again.
