Two interesting articles about Google and their efforts to bring cloud computing to the fore
NYT - "Google Gets Ready to Rumble With Microsoft"
BusinessWeek - "Google and the Wisdom of Clouds"
Throw Amazon's efforts (EC2, S3) into the mix and this space is going to get really interesting. From my perspective, I'd be really happy if the next company I start can use cloud resources instead of having to build out physical infrastructure.
