This is definately not the case.

We use S3/CF on a site with around 4M PVs per month, and found using S3/CF was so easy to set it, it was almost trivial, and our users notice faster downloads.

In addition, a good server, no matter how gigantic, cannot outperform a globally distributed content delivery network (CDN) which is what Amazon CloudFront is.

I think Mr. Royo is confusing "cloud computing" with Amazon's CloudFront, which is a global CDN, not a "cloud computing infrastructure".

In addition, I am not posting from "theory", we actually run it, serving millions of users each month from over 200 countries
