Its interesting that Merill's report could equally be applied to Utility Computing or Grid Computing or any such other failed initiatives. The article had none other than Nicholas Carr to justify Cloud Computing - I thought the guy say IT doesn't matter. I think the concepts are interesting and useful, packaging and positioning sucks for Cloud Computing. We need a better name,,,, What an unfortunate name “Cloud Computing” – try selling a Pie in the Sky to an IT executive who wants to solve a pain today.

Well, I agree, the assumptions are not very clear.
