Group: Cloud Computing, VMware, Virtualization and Enterprise 2.0 Group Discussion: How do you explain cloud computing to your colleagues? As Rick alludes, opinions are not the same as facts. It is wonderful that people share opinions, and that is beneficial to mankind. To disguise opinions as fact, either innocently, or to further an agenda serves no beneficial purpose. The reason I harp on NIST is precisely because they are not selling something, and they appear to have put a great deal of thought into their definition. They seem to have taken as much pain to write these damn two pages as the American Founding Fathers spent on the Constitution. Excluding "The Internet" specifically, for example, was a bold move, particularly when a good 80% of the responders here describe Cloud as computing "over the Internet." So when a majority of the people who belong to a Cloud computing forum are telling me that they describe Cloud Computing to their Colleagues by providing them with FUNDAMENTALLY incorrect information, I find that mildly alarming.
