Look...the author is the CEO of Box.Net which is a company whose business model is the cloud. So there's obviously a bias and I do think he's a little hyperbolic on some of his points. That said I'm someone who runs what is considered a medium sized enterprise and have been testing Box.Net for a few months now and I've been impressed. It allows me to extend file sharing beyond our network firewall without having to configure (or pay for) an expensive VPN license (I'd started moving the rest of our Intranet to EC2 in 2009). Plus it duplicates all the Sharepoint functionality that we were using. I can honestly say cloud computing has saved me from creating at least 1 new position at a savings of around $53,000 a year (that's subtracting the EC2 and Box.Net bills)
