CIO Jury: No cloud in our future

It will happen: While the largest companies (Fortune 500) may run internal clouds, I am confident others will eventually run almost everything in the cloud.

Security is an impediment. Surely from Amazon and others we will see some advanced VPN/virtual firewall offerings for their services over time?

I am not convinced reliability is a problem -- internal systems go down too.

Migration is work, as the way one writes apps changes: adoption will take time.
