[dba-Tech] Download Chrome OS

The whole cloud networks are in their infancy and they were probably
deployed before they were really ready for public consumption. I remember
when the internet started and no ISP could guarantee 24x7 service and in
some case would sit down for days. 

The network and ISP we were connected to would be compensated us every month
for how many hours they were down and sometimes it was almost 50 percent. It
is rare that internet crashes now.

My main concerns are that these cloud systems will become consolidated
amongst only a very few providers.

Microsoft BPOS cloud outage burns Exchange converts
'All in' now looking for a 'way out'

I just set up a bunch of CNAME records for one of our domain hosting clients
to switch to 
BPOS last week. I'm sure glad that t wasn't me who advised them to make the
switch :-)
