However, as long as there is potential we will see the large companies continue to invest in it. This is likely to continue in both build and buy forms. I think that people are becoming increasingly aware of the potential advantages of cloud computing, but I do not think that people are aware yet of the potential risks. For example, Salesforce.com was offline recently for more than 1 hour (see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/06/salesforce_outage/).
