If you notice a vehicle as a means to an end, and all you value is getting there, then you need an application platform like Google’s AppEngine. Here you merely add an practical application, and the rest is handled. If however you run ec2, you’re no longer stressing about computer hardware, but still about instances and virtual servers. All of them run OS’s that need to be maintained; it’s like taking taxi’s but still having to know everything about the taxi’s engines. I predict that later on we’ll move towards AppEngine like models or ‘managed clouds’. Unfortunately, for many cloud computing platforms the car analogy you allow doesn’t calculate.
