Computing as a commodity

I have listened to some guy from Sun on Gartner Symposium. While talking about Sun’s new pricing policy, he also mentioned that Sun believs, computing becoming a commodity, as it happened to electricity. You will not buy computers, but a computing power/hours. Here is the story.

How it will influence us, software developers? For me the picture is more than attractive.Then the computing power will become a commodity, our organization will not maintaine its own servers, but will buy computing power, standardized by all means, from suppliers. And there will be no need to overcome on daily basis operation guy's bad mood, unwritten requirements and wishes to teach developers, how to develop software :) I am eager to see it happens.
