>As scalable cloud computing becomes more mature, its price will become so attractive that unless you are purposefully taking a stand against it, there will be no business case not to use cloud computing. And that is the factor Microsoft and other entities are relying upon.
First computer I worked on was 1/2 the size of a football field and probably had less computing power that what is today a $30 rasberry pi (at least it had console and keyboards). Then computers got small and everyone got them in their house - days of dumb terminals gone. Now everything is back to the football field sized thing with server farms. Soon all that computing power will fit in something the size of a watch..and some football field sized thing that we can't even imagine yet will come with it....it's just the natural cycle of things ..hahaha...
