Plus, how will it scale when you grow to need terabytes of storage or bandwidth? And will it have the up-time guarantee of Amazon? This isn't meant to be a service for running a blog or web forum: it's to enable small software development companies to deliver the kind of reliability/security/fault tolerance/performance for their web services that were previously only available to the Amazons and Googles of the world. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for companies like mine that would rather concentrate on writing interesting software solutions than architecting and administering a server farm.
