Our company tried the cloud for both apps and data for about 2 years. Now we
are back to "local machines" for the applications with all of our data on
network drives. Our networks (which span the world) couldn't handle the
traffic. Even now, we have times when things just stop for a few seconds,
sometimes up to 10-15 seconds. As you know, that's a coon's age when you're
sitting in front of a computer, you click and nothing happens. Nothing!

Worse yet is when the window dims and the dreaded "(Not Responding)" is added
to the app name in the title bar.

The Cloud *might* work if we all had fast reliable fiber links
but most of us are stuck in AT$T SlowVerse territory.

Does anyone at AT$T actually think the Cloud is usable with a 1Mb uplink?
