Nice. We've already been using grid enabled GPU clusters, this should make them a bit better.
There's a lot more useful compute stuff on Kepler (esp kepler2) here:

Interesting. We've been using Remotefx on HyperV. Good for general Aero whizzyness to keep end users happy in VDI-land, plus good for DirectX stuff like Google Earth. Lack of OpenGL support causes us headaches though for some CAD applications, so if this can work without being tied to DirectX it will be interesting.
I don't want to be a buzzkill on the cloud hype-machine, but I'm not sure this will be a 'cloudy' technology. I would expect it to be more suitable for WAN to be honest. 3D graphics are a bandwidth pig.
Honestly I don't see how other than to make their infrastructure potentially cheaper. VGX is good news for people wanting to inject 3D into virtual machines, i.e. it is competition for VMWare's PCoverIP and MS's RemoteFX. We're talking ultrafast LAN topology SAN hosted environments here. Whether and how it in any way allows rapid delivery to the end user 'in the cloud' is another issue entirely.
They soon use it to power the fastest supercomputer in the world.
