I too know what cloud computing is.

The question is: why cloud computing? A Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail address is handy, so that we can check mails from any computer anywhere.

Google Documents: do you need it? You might as well. Or maybe not. I don't, personally, as I've a word editor/viewer at work, home and even on my mobile phone.

It really depends on needs and personal preferences.
But it's not because something is trendy that one needs it or likes it, or have to accept it for everything.

Do I need cloud computer for a game like SH5? Certainly not, and I see more inconvenient than advantages.
So do I have to accept cloud computing down my throat for every software? No, I don't want that.

I'm not saying Cloud computing is bad. It has advantages in some cases. But I want my software to remain as much independent from Internet connections as possible.
