that sounds more like the niche that amazon's solutions provides. im happy with the options and constraints google app engine provides. It offers the little guy a chance to focus on quality application development without the headaches of scalability. If my app gets popular im sure i would have the resources then to move it onto a less 'lock in' cloud. <br>

</div>That link is good for pointing out that Google is aware of the<br>
import/export difficulty and wants to address it. It doesn't counter<br>
the argument that such a compute service should offer choices for<br>
