I have to confess you are infinitely more on top of this topic than me, but my question is this: Will anyone actually look to IBM for advice on their cloud computing infrastructure? Well, maybe some enterprises. But, is that the market players like Amazon are trying to pursue? Everything I see on Amazon tells me web startup or short burst compute project.

That's the actual market that seems to me to exist today for cloud computing.

I don't think anyone has a real grip on how to bridge between traditional enterprise applications and the cloud. Oracle's Amazon Machine Instance is a case in point. I can't buy an hour by hour license for that. I've got to pony up for the full thing, sort of defeats the purpose.
