For some reason or another, the idea of cloud computing just terrifies me.
Its my feeling that cloud computing, if it were to become the standard, will completely destroy any third party software company.
You will have to deal with the big providers out there to be able to do anything and all software companies would have to sign up for contracts with Microsoft, Google or whoever to allow, your software to run on someone elses computer.
Am I just being stupid here or is there a real concern for anyone in the software business here?
