Good attempt at clarifying labels

Thanks for trying to clarify definitions for "software-as-a-service" and "cloud computing." There are a few others in circulation as well, including "platform-as-a-service" and "cloud services."

These battles over definitions are usually a sure sign of a hot technology and market (See "War of the Words." at http://saasmarketingstrategy.blogspot.com/2009/01/war-of-words-saas-paas-cloud-etc.html) I'm not sure which terms we'll finally settle on, but it will be easier to explain, market and sell these solutions once we have a widely-accepted label to stick on them.
