Computer visionaries have been preaching about grandiose visions of “cloud computing” for years. The concept: Offer basic computer functions – like office software – as subscription services provided through the Web, rather than software installed on a hard drive. The point is to hide it behind the scenes, allowing the guys running the cloud to upgrade, tweak and maintain the software, taking that load off the user. It’s a bit like going to the store for vegetables instead of planting your own garden. Everything you need is just magically there.
