<rant> Why (when you could deploy your own PaaS layer on just about any Cloud hosting provider from Amazon to Rackspace on any hyper-visor) are people still insisting on paying public PaaS vendors to re-sell them computing hours and lock them into their proprietary platforms - when will people wake up and see that Heroku, AppHarbor, and all the rest are just locking you in and getting your addicted to services! Just once, test out deploying cloud foundry or better yet deploy activestate's stackato (built on cloud foundry) onto the cloud hosting provider and run your own private PaaS http://community.activestate.com/stackato </rant>
