[AccessD] Clouds

Hi Max

Two major(!) players to study:

Amazon Web Services (low cost)
Pick top left "Infrastructure Services"

  http://aws.amazon.com 

Microsoft Azure
Still in beta but free account available
(Look up thread "[dba-VB] Windows Azure CTP is up an running")

I heard (sic) some discussions recently on using Access in Clouds and then
received the above link.  Can anybody tell me in a few words what "Cloud"
computing actually is or is it just another flavour-of-the-month-name for a
web hosting service?

Thanks
Max
