Not the person you are responding to, but I'm aware that the cloud is just other people's hardware. But that's usually what I intend to mean when I say that. My own hardware I have to power, maintain, reboot, dust, cool, etc. And if I talk about "the cloud" I usually am taking about an environment I can maintain fully through software, none of the messy hardware failures and temperature management I might need to think about at home.
