Re: Who invented the term Cloud Computing?

Reuven,

Eric Schmidt is generally credited with being the first to use it publicly (at least in a marketing sense). See my "Ah, Yes, How To Define Cloud Computing" post. (Which, by the way, is a bit outdated in terms of a definition--what I describe there is perhaps more of a "Cloud Oriented Architecture", and I'm staking my claim on that term right now! :-) )
