I rather not, but instead these compute clouds should be treated similarly to utilities - you don't really want to be running your own generators for electricity do you? So why is it that we can setup utilities properly, where everybody can trust that it stays on and usable for a price low enough?
My theory is that vendor lock in is the cause. Cloud should be a commodity, but it isn't because nobody in the cloud business wants to be a commodity. Hence, they have every incentive to prevent it from happening.
