Was discussing "in the cloud" with my wife yesterday, and I said "It just means on some company's servers." Which suddenly de-mystified the whole concept for her.

I was at PDC in 2008 when Microsoft announced "Windows Azure".

I've never been more confused in my life. "Wait, what does this version of Windows do?"

Luckily they rebranded it as just "Microsoft Azure" which makes a shit ton more sense.
