One thing you didn't fully cover was how to know which services (beyond email) it makes sense to move to the cloud. It seems to me that the answer is any service that is largely commoditized (i.e. your needs aren't terribly unique) and with which you haven't developed a unique competitive advantage. Email is a good example because it's a mature, relatively standardized service, and very few organizations have customized their email systems for competitive advantage. (Lotus Notes/Domino applications are an obvious counterexample, but even that could be usefully moved to a hosted Domino provider.) I think this is right on target.
