Folks, don't complain. You wanted the cloud, you're getting the cloud.

- aNoob7000 2y agoPeople didn't want the cloud. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and others wanted everyone in the cloud to get them on the subscription bandwagon. I hope more and more people vote with their wallets and go to other platforms and tools.
- kleiba 2y agoI don't think you're right. People love the benefits they get from the cloud, mostly being able to access data from multiple devices and huge storage capabilities. The downsides are, unfortunately, often overlooked. For non-techies, it is not immediate obvious what the downsides even are, or why they should matter.
- wkat4242 2y agoI never wanted any cloud. I never used a MS account to sign into windows either, which is becoming ever more of a fight.
- kleiba 2y agoNeither did/do I. When I write "you", of course I don't mean you personally. Keep fighting the good fight! What I'm trying to point at is that convenience trumps privacy concerns almost every time for most people. The reasons for that are plentifold.
- beretguy 2y agoThis is my first time hearing we wanted the cloud.
- dghughes 2y agoDidn't Cisco try to revert by putting some cloud back locally and we ended up with Fog computing?
