Just embrace the goddamn cloud why don’t you?

So the European Commission is consulting with the great unwashed about the benefits of cloud computing. Better late than never I guess, perhaps I should be happy that that EC has actually heard of the cloud at all. Apparently it will be ‘seeking views’ from the general public, business and other interested parties (by which I assume it means service providers and government) in order to determine how Europe can extract the greatest value from cloud computing.
