If AWS is only $100 million in 2009 that would make it's run rate 4 times the size of Rackspace's “cloud” offering revenue. So your point that no one can really come up with an accurate estimate of it's revenue only servers to underscore the tremendous lead they have on everyone else. Unless/until an IaaS provider comes up with game changing features one can only hope AWS drives the overall market as a rising tide lifts all boats. Including yours.
