Besides the corporate environment, I hardly wish to be uploading my private information to anyone. In machines with comparitively slow processors, I can understand the cloud being at least an option. However, even the Mac Mini has the processing power and RAM to do the work locally. I wouldn't purchase this product on any platform until there was an option to have the work done locally and to ensure that data does not leave my system. Further, this might actually be a nice package for countries where people have less money to spend on specialized products or, with the camera, for remote areas. The cloud demand kills it for those situations, in my view. Aman
