My take is that what you use for infrastructure and computing should be 
based on your needs and budget not what is the current 
marketing/business hype such as "The Cloud" or tablets instead of 
desktops or laptops. Also, contrary to most hype about the cloud; cost 
should only be one factor in the decision. Data security, physical 
security, and access should be important factors also.
