The time for cloud computing has definitely arrived. I think I first realized this last year when our first-year MBA class received our computers pre-loaded with Microsoft Groove. It soon became obvious that the proprietary U of M software that we were supposed to use to collaborate on projects was impossible to use (or even figure out how to access it).
So our class started using Groove, where we allowed Microsoft to host our group projects and let us collaborate on them and chat about them from anywhere. The school administration and IT department were upset about this "unauthorized use" and warned the class that it was not supported and our data could be lost. Soon they backed off because they realized that it worked better than their solutions, and that we weren't going to change our usage of Groove anytime soon.
