The difference relative to other cloud testing services is that the Selenium Grid and clients are all instantiated on the local dev box. The tests generally execute much faster than cloud-hosted VMs and you can access local network resources without establish a tunnel.
(The service does interact with the Spoon.net cloud to do things like capture screenshots, store test transcripts, publish results, team collaboration, and so forth.)
