Would you try it in a box?

Google Apps, that is. How about in a house? With a mouse?

Larry Dignan suggests that Google's next move to make inroads for Google Apps with enterprise CIOs may be to offer a version of them in an appliance form, similar to the existing Google search appliances which the company already sells. Although such an approach seems convoluted and ungainly if you have already bought into the cloud-computing approach, it makes a certain amount of sense if you're looking at bridging the gap between the traditional and the new, the same way that fake horse heads attached to the front reassured some potential drivers of early cars.

I'm not sure that people would bite, but that's just me, so I put the question to you CIOs: if you're not ready to have your apps hosted in the cloud, would you host them on a box in-house? And if so, why?
