The usage of "cloud" really annoys me. When people use that word, they mean specific server(s) on the Internet, but for me that means things like BitTorrent, where I don't have to care where my stuff is, just what my stuff is.

It would annoy me, too, if we were in an enclosed room together.

Exactly, the cloud is really just a lonely blade server sitting in a dark room in a basement somewhere.

But saying it's a cloud it makes it easy for sales people to draw on a whiteboard.

On-Premise Cloud is my pet hate. How is that even a Cloud?

Meanwhile, network folks have been drawing clouds since 1980.

When we hear "cloud" it means servers on the net.

To your manager, it's another term for outsourcing. If I put mail and calendars in "the cloud", would I need so many sysadmins?
