Back in the 70s I ate this really nice meal and came up with the term Dell icious.

Also Sun, Apple, Bell, Orange, McDonalds, Ford, Virgin, and HP, even though he died in 1967

Resistance to the "cloud computing" term was not futile and resistance to this silly term continues to build. Everyone is going to laugh about "cloud computing" in a few years (months) when some new term comes along and does away with it. I can't wait.
This is just mainframe computing all over again. Nothing special. Nothing to see here.

Of course it ain't! Everything's in The Cloud on THEIR mainframe.
But seriously, the idea's existed since the fifties or sixties. Look up Multics.
