I've made the point in other posts that many people are confusing cloud with SaaS, because they have recently gotten exposure to SaaS through things like Google apps and salesforce.com while the truth is these things have been around for a number of years and we already have a name for them (SaaS), and that cloud is really a revolution in resource acquisition and provisioning, not the same thing as SaaS.

I guess it confirms the magnitude of the opportunity when the experts are so lame - it means its early and the road is wide open.

I've been thinking about Slichost for a while now, and how the entire concept of a "slice" is likely to be deprecated in short order. Whenever I need to buy and extra slice I think about how silly it is that I should have to be worried about that sort of thing.
