The entire attempt is major weaksauce. There have been clouds when DELL registered the domain (over a year ago). It may not have been so “mainstream” though. In general all patents are weak attempts to secure what you think is your space because you ultimately fear the competition of others.

The fact that this news broke just recently, after cloud computing has started to take off, makes the claim seems more preposterous than it really was at the time.

Take it easy on Dell? What a joke.

Wuwut?? It’s a deliberate attempt to capitalize on language _after_ its become popular. If this was planned they would have made more of an attempt early on. Even if they invented the phrase, they did a poor job protecting it, which is what copyright law looks at. They should be thankful they own the .com
