I’m not very big into virtuilization/cloud computing just yet, but with companies like Red Hat posting profits in an otherwise bear market, and with the advent of (mostly) free cloud computing platforms like Google’s App Engine, I’m definatly going to find an excuse to develop at least one test project in the cloud.
