What is cloud computing on windows 7?

Cloud computing basically means that you are using a service, not a product. Similar to your e-mail browser, where you have access to your e-mails that are stored somewhere else (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.), much of the information on your computer is yours, but is being stored elsewhere. That elsewhere is the "Cloud".

What is cloud computing in simple way?

Cloud computing allows everything necessary for computing to be stored remotely and delivered to the user on an as-needed basis. In the case of a business, this means that the server, networks, data storage, hardware and software the business uses is not stored on-site, but rather is stored remotely through the cloud service, and delivered to the business as needed via the Internet. This allows people who know nothing about the technology they are using to access these services without technical know how. It also allows businesses to outsource their IT assets and maintenance to the cloud service provider. Those accessing services via the cloud do so seamlessly, so the end user experiences little difference between accessing an on-site piece of hardware or accessing the same information through the cloud service provider's hardware. The only difference is where the actual machine is stored.
