Quite.
Cloud computing is not really an idea of how to do computing at all. It is simply a gap that appeared on a lot of people's Powerpoint slides that essentially means 'I am not going to be the one thinking about this'.
And that is an OK thing to do. It is perfectly OK to say that the problems of deployment, security, yadda yadda are going to be handled magically by someone else and there are a lot of competent companies who can do that.
But the fact that we have all those people doing different things and calling them 'cloud computing' does not mean that they are all the same. We have software as a service all the way down to infrastructure as a service.
And even if everyone was talking about the same thing that is not the same as being able to turn that thing into a fungible commodity which is what a standard is for.
