Haha, 649 pages! Thanks for the discussion. I can understand your perspective. Maybe it would be best to add something to the blog post that discusses it from both perspectives and readers can then choose which perspective suits them better.

I should also a bit more in general about cloud computing, it seems some people agree that the post ran a bit short on that. At some point I just wanted to be done with it though — editing 10k word blog posts is not so much fun anymore!
