I guess I'm old fashioned. I don't get how using FOSS software in a
cloud is an improvement? Storing files, yes. Having your programs
there ... don't see a benefit. Perhaps I'm not understanding the value
of a cloud. Can someone explain the benefit(s) to me? No sarcasm
intended. I really don't see "Cloud Office" as being an improvement and
would like to understand the thought behind it.
