"What could go wrong?"
That is on my list of "Questions never to ask because they always end up getting answered."

The potential of having one's data held hostage is rather unappealing.
The "- but" part:
On the other hand, the cloud-vendors would make absolutely great targets for denial-of-service attacks.
I guess that's the cloud-app development I'll target.

Making programs that move machinery, it is not interesting to use the cloud so both the last two answers fit me perfectly.

Several of the arguments mentioned are good, valid reasons to deploy your app to the cloud. Why do I have to pick only 1?

" What is CLOUD?!! I still don't get the IDEA of CLOUD?!! "
Well the answer is: Those white fluffy things that float in the sky. If they get dark it's an indication that it's going to be inclement weather.

I especially like the metaphor of a dark cloud as an indication of inclement weather.

I am creating custom software for many customers.
I don't think it would make any sense to have every application in the cloud if it should simply be run from the desktop.
As soon as our customers need something that would make sense in a cloud environment I will move to the cloud, given that it makes life easier for us and our customers.
That is... Probably never, but then again... Clouded, the future is!
It's an OO world.

I had a discussion the the MS rep in Singapore who was responsible for selling the "cloud" and the target audience was SMEs and small shops who could benefit from the flexibility. He was no interested in the big end of town as their requirements were too stringent.

The last option is a bit pointless in my opinion. Unless industry regulations prohibits the customers app to be in the cloud, and the cusomer demands it,then so be it and I would develop for the cloud.
I need to make an income after all.

True, but that means that you do have an interest in moving to the cloud(your customers).
All the best,

You'r right. I voted for Cusstomer demand

All 3 apply to us, I can't see financial instutions moving their systems outside their firewall, but then I've been drmatically wrong in the past.

I read "100% reliable security" as a reason for moving to the cloud (at least how the question was asked).
I was tempted to pick it just for a laugh, cause putting all your data out there on the web for a 3rd party to take care of sounds secure to me.

Yeah, I rolled my eyes on that option...

Now if we could only get the IDs of the 14 people who believe that, how naive.
