Just listened to the foxshow #71 and an interview with Christophe Rung from FoxInCloud where he discusses how to move your VFP app onto a cloud platform.

I listened to a chunk last night, too.
Did you check out the licensing cost?

I listened to a Cloud podcast earlier this week.
Title is kind of close to the presenters POV. ;->

How well can you plan for an outage / blockage?

Probably better than you can plan for an outage/blockage of your own equipment.
Imagine if everyone generated their own electricity: every company would have to have engineering staff on hand to monitor electric production, maintain smooth output, handle equipment maintenance, etc. Even with all that, failures would be a fact of life.
Now compare that to the current system for obtaining electric power: yes, there are outages, and you do need to prepare for them, but every company doesn't need to maintain their own electricity staff. Most of the time "it just works", and the smart companies plan for those times when it doesn't.
Cloud computing is no different. If you expect it to never fail, you are being as unrealistic as if you expect the hardware that you maintain on site to never fail. But the benefits of not having to have a dedicated IT staff just to maintain commodity hardware far outweigh any downside. Computing power and storage will become utilities, and the way apps are written will change to reflect that ubiquity.

I saw a reference to fox in the cloud a week ago and my heart skipped a
beat.
I went to the site and skipped another beat
Then i saw the costs. I'm back to normal now.
The costs killed it completely.

Most people on this list woudl freak out at cloud costs. Remember
Compuserve back in the day when you paid by the byte? Welcome to the
cloud where you pay by the gig.

The cost of the cloud is not what frightens me.
Frankly, you ignore the cloud at your peril.
But the software cost is prohibitive. (Fox on the cloud that is)
My search goes on...

Yeah, and remember when other services sprang up and forced costs down?
One of the goals of OpenStack is to make the cloud a commodity. Everyone has access to the same infrastructure code, so you won't get into that "sole supplier" situation like you describe.
