The fact that this article is even choosing to focus on Rackspace as opposed to say linode, asmallorange, prgmr.com, etc. is already a sign that Rackspace has become big enough to be worth talking about. At least so far, apparently they're on the right track. I think they'll be around for a pretty long time even if they never completely crush the other cloud giants.

Just "doing their job" and having happy customers isn't good enough if a Wall Street giant needs your business added to it's marketshare so they can avoid some taxes next year.
