So I thought what would some of the top technology leaders feel and think of Cloud Computing. (No I did not pick the order based on their unbridled opinion rating).

I will start of with Larry Ellison, the oracle of software industry. Most opinionated and mostly correct, as history has proven, sometimes a few years later. Did I mention he is funny too?.
