To my mind there are major problems with "cloud computing".
For instance, where does the data reside. In your country or somewhere else.
Who's law applies to the data, your countries or some other. How will where it is stored affect your liability for such things as privacy, retention, search, seizure etc.
Although most vendors will not share your data in detail with other user, some reserve the right to use your data for other purposes.
If for some reason you decide to change vendor, how difficult will it be to get our data back. In several cases the SaaS vendors hold the data captive, or the data can be retrieved, however the vendor retains a copy, which as you no longer have a contract with them they can sell to your competitors.
How difficult will it be to enforce contracts.

Cloud computing represents a new way, in some cases a better and cheaper way, of delivering enterprise IT, but it's not as easy as it sounds,
-
Everyone agreed that cloud services such as Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) Web Services, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Apps, and Salesforce (NYSE: CRM).com CRM have become bona fide enterprise options, but there were also questions about privacy, data security, industry standards, vendor lock-in, and high-performing apps that have yet to be vaporized as cloud services.
