Instead of paying for processing power, RAM, bandwidth and storage, you pay for cpu cycles model, where you really 'Pay-as-you-grow'. I sort of dismissed this as I think business customers want to know what they are going to get billed, so had filled cloud-computing under 'It will happen for early adopters, but not take -off' category in my mind.
