Yes... the cloud is essentially a return to the past (Ken Olsen's partial vindication).
But beware off the 800 pound gorilla(s) in the room. The real goal of the cloud is not storing your data, the goal for MS (and Google) is to provide software only over the network, thereby earning fees from you on a periodic basis, forcing upgrades, and eliminating their need to support older versions - and turning what was once a one-time fee paid to them into an annuity to them.
