You've got to wonder how many inventors have shown up at Microsoft's door to show them their invention...
1993 to 1997? Seems a long time for them to maliciously copy something.

I think you've nailed it. I have yet to run into a single person who could answer the question "What is the definition of the cloud?" without me being able to unravel their answer with the phrase "Yes, but we've been doing that since the internet started." It's just a fancy buzzword for people with nothing of substance to say.

I'd personally also like to see a 10Mb/s lower bound. This is 2009 after all, and the telecoms have already been paid for 45Mb/s symmetrical bandwidth to everyone.
If that's the case, then the lower bound should be 45Mb/s, not 10.

However, the problem is that such a conversion cannot happen while there is a large establishment built on it - the judges would have to re-learn, the lawyers would have to re-learn, the legislators would have a gargantuan task of creating a whole corpus of laws without bad loopholes... It would only happen after a revolution.
so the cost of educating lawyers and judges and rewriting laws is less than a revolution?
