Google may launch IaaS cloud service competing with Amazon and Microsoft

Interesting. I remember thinking, a while back, given Google's experience with scaling hardware, software and distributed systems, that they should do something like this, as a for-pay service, though I had used the term Technology as a Service to myself then, when thinking about it. Terms like PaaS and IaaS were barely in vogue back then (though SaaS was). Heh :)
