Wow, mega-linkbait title. In short, No. As the article goes on to argue (and I agree,) blessing the Amazon APIs as a standard would be great for the industry though they have their warts for sure.

I think that EC2 will become a defacto standard given time, if nothing more than because of its rich API. Already there is Eucalyptus, an API-compatible open source cloud implementation. Others are likely to follow.

Ubuntu has already made their cloud tools support generic, around this API. That's half the battle.
