As a network programmer, we've been talking about the cloud for a long time ... it was a generic mechanism describing how systems were interconnected. With Cloud computing, we're actually combining two different ideas that already existed ... the resiliency of a network with many redundant links, and the creation of computing clusters that provide redundancy and fail-over.
I guess I don't have a problem with this particular buzz-word. What I do have a problem with is people that claim to be using cloud computing but clearly just relabeled a product/service that is not.
