Even though I'm still not quite sure what "the cloud" actually is (it's the internet, right?), Microsoft has just announced that it will be releasing 'Windows Cloud' at its Professional Developers Conference later this month. Windows Cloud (a temporary codename) will apparently be based on Windows Server, but with new features and characteristics. Steve Ballmer made the announcement at a Microsoft-sponsored conference for IT managers in London.

The other important thing to remember, is a lot of small companies use 0 backup systems at all. All the data is stored in their personal desktop system.
To be quite honest, online apps (i hate using 'cloud') usually offer more security to most smaller shops.
