RE: The five defining characteristics of cloud computing

There are a lot of negative comments about Cloud
Computing and SaaS, and some of it just ridiculous.

"Tight market, squeezed margins - sharpened trust: how
much do you trust a SaaS not to delete, lose, screw
up, steal or sell you data?" -- You should protect
yourself legally with a couple of documents such as a
Service Level Agreement and Confidentiality Agreement.
It is not in the best interest of a SaaS vendor to do
anything to compromise their customers' data, or else,
they won't be in business for very long. Also, SaaS
vendors have to work very hard to ensure a certain
level of customer service and satisfaction, because
they operate on a recurring monthly revenue model.
Customers can hit the "off" switch whenever they want.
