I agree, its pure PR. Even desktop virtualisation is nothing new. It was there the days of terminals....the the coming of windows OS encouraged desktops (too mush resources which are not fully utilized, power wastage and many more). We are now shouting all over of desktop virtualisation and its role in Green computing. Maybe the only new thing in the whole mix is server virtualisation.

I first heard the term 'internal cloud' from one of our customers. Upon probing on what exactly he meant, it was explained to me that he was talking of virtualizing infrastructure... Basically, if you run VMware/Hyper-V/Citrix-XenServer you run an 'internal cloud'. The term is now being loosely used.
What saddens me though is when people assume that all 'clouds' are equal. e.g. When Safaricom announced their cloud, many assumed that you could do *everything* not realizing that it's limited to Infrastructure as a Service. It's unfortunate though :-(.
