How will data that should be private and well-protected (like health and financial information) work in this "cloud"?

Besides, most IT departments relish complicated proprietary "enterprise" technology for job-security reasons. They're not going to tell the CEO that they're no longer relevant, not when IT is already viewed as a cost center.

No, the shareholders will when the "cost center" starts eating into their dividends.
