Survey results: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF STORING DATA ON A CLOUD?

Our NYCLA community is a group at the extremes, as demonstrated by this last poll about cloud computing.  Multiple answers were allowed and many of you selected more than one answers.  Interestingly, I observed that while 50% of voters were thrilled at the prospect of the cost-savings of this (relatively) new technology. Another 50% of voters were not even sure what the poll was about! The results in percentages are below:


Fantastic! Cost-saver and the future of data storage.
(50%)
My concern is confidentiality and trade secret protection.
(33%)
My concern is the viability of fly-by-night vendors.
(0%)
My concern is ownership , location and what law governs.
(16%)
