When a word becomes as “buzzy” as “cloud” is, it loses all meaning. If you mean that IT in the future can expect to run a large pool of undifferentiated CPU’s with common storage and massive bandwidth, regardless of whose premises, I agree with you. In a mere few years, the only difference between private and public clouds will be to whom you make the check.
And of course, there will be legacy systems. But one of the advantages of the “cloud” architecture is that an org can make platform changes swiftly. Last year’s systems will be legacy next year, but the software will just keep on trucking.
