Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying here. If I read it one way, you're attacking my attitude. If I read it another, you're attacking the use of cloud computing. Kindly rephrase.

You are right in stating that my statement is ambiguous; notwithstanding, I am not attacking your attitude (like Socrates, I am a mere mortal, not a god like Huitzilopochtli or Zeus or Vishnu) --much less do I attack the emergent cloud computing platform delivery model. Here is the rephrased paragraph: Current economic conditions are dragging conservative attitudes into outsourcing their IT plumbing; cloud computing platform providers are the receivers or beneficiaries of exactly that (traditionally conservative corporate IT) outsourcing. The proliferation of cloud computing platform delivery mechanism providers, of which Amazon EC2 is the poster child, should start smashing those artificial attitudes.
