Cloud computing, are you ready to give up your local computer?

Asked by coogan (692points) March 14th, 2010

The cloud is the future, but will you be comfortable enough to give up your standalone computer? Microsoft, Google, as well as others are touting this new wave of the future. All of your information online, available anywhere. But what of privacy concerns? Security? Are you opposed to an annual fee for tiered storage options? Microsoft is going to offer annual rates for cloud software packages. This grants users the ability to use the latest software that is patched auto-magically (yes, I know). This subscription based service also cuts back on piracy. Do you support the cloud fully, local only, or do you think you’ll operate with a mix of both? I don’t think I could give up my local machine, could you?
