Re: Why won't people use clouds: The grey part of the silver lining

Bill, you're right, there certainly are - proof positive that there are no absolutes :-) While Chuck has characterized folks comfortable with putting their data in the cloud as "fools" that's based on his version of absolutism - his point of reference. Any discussion here that things are absolutely one way or the other is pretty much useless. (which means we'll probably get to the 400 post mark :-)
However, having all the data points about the varying degrees of adoption IS useful for folks trying to make a living in this space.

It might be helpful to talk about the businesses that are looking at this and the ones that have high aversion to it so we can map out where the market adoption is right now and where it might go.

Just my 2 cents

Believe it or not, there are plenty of people who:

1) Can't work from home

2) Won't work evenings

3) Don't work weekends

Not to mention all of those non-salaried employees who would need to be paid overtime for extra hours in the evening and on weekends.
