EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

We begin today by exploring the curious decision by online florist Roses Only to stay with traditional web hosting, despite appearing to be a prize candidate for cloud computing.

Also, secure your place for the iTnews Executive Summits on banking IT and network computing to be held in Sydney and Melbourne.
