This one grew a bit longer than I expected - I agree some pictures or visual aids are helpful to break up long posts like this in the future.

You may want to consider adding a picture. As it stands, I am too tired to concentrate on these two large full-width blocks of text with no structure. No visual structure. I can assure you (and research has shown as early as with Knuths' TeX) that people will simply not read this kind of back-to-back text because they are overwhelmed. That would be waste of writing effort! One note though, with the new blog design, it is very important to keep some whitespace in the text. You may want to consider adding a picture.

I agree with your thoughts about what Sun, VMWare, Citrix etc. will need to do to distinguish themselves from the commodity cloud; it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The idea of a cross cloud API is really interesting. I wouldn't mind more posts like these, not just product announcements. nice post. The idea of a cross cloud API is really interesting.
