Clouds are still out of reach ! B/w and speed issues need to be solved !

True!

Right now for me, storing data online is only feasible for documents and images.

Sigh, someday we will catch up to where the world is today, and be able to upload HD videos.

Of course the world would have moved on by then...

Cloud based OS ^^. It takes a 3-4 days to download a blu-ray movie and people are talking about clouds. For me, clouds are situated in Sky(out of reach) =)) atleast for 5 yrs or so.

I think majority of people don't like the concept of cloud computing because of security reasons. I think there are some positive side of cloud computing but most of the points are against cloud computing.

Security issues are there but the concept is great. These issues can be worked out and we can have a healthy cloud environment but only if we get better speeds and unlimited b/w usage.

desktop virtualization is a great example of cloud. u sit in any corner of the globe with a net connection of just around 128 kbps, u can access ur desktop which is at ur organization's servers or service providers servers!
the bandwidth per desktop is hardly anrd 40kbps in case of vWorksapce and around 20kbps in case of Citrix Xendesktop.
if ISPs like hathway who giv cable connections to the masses provide desktop as a service using the standard TV and additional set top box internet can reach the masses.
you have a virtualization platform at the bankend servers, each VM of which can act as a desktop for the users, and users can connect to their individual desktops using thin devices...
this is a gr8 concept and there are organizations who have just started to move this way
