As one of the first customers of Joyent (aka TextDrive) in 2004 who funded the company via a prepaid "lifetime" hosting account, I think you hit the nail on the head. The CTO was in love with Solaris, constantly waxing poetic in the forums about the next great technical idea he was implementing while the shared hosting we had prepaid for suffered constant downtime and technical problems. While I think they eventually sort of got their shit together (just based on outward appearances, they had long since burnt their bridge with me personally), it's really no surprise that they lacked the customer-centricity to succeed in the cloud wars.
