It's a great business ploy but it's still a house of cards. All it will take is for a competitor or two to undercut them in cloud services. Not my cup of tea but someone will do it eventually.
The old monopolies are crumbling (except the ones the federal government bails out) and the new ones are emerging. Amazon will crumble one day, too.
