I think that a quick definition of the term is "location independent computing". Users don't need to know, or care, where the systems are that run their applications.

I'll accept that definition. However, I'm not sure that users don't need to know where their applications are running. Users running apps that require fast, high-volume data transfer will want to run on a server that is close to their operations location.

Furthermore, running certain applications on cloud computers with servers all over the globe may create complex legal issues.
