Long live the desktop
Submitted by jcg on Mon, 09/17/2007 - 21:41.The desktop is certainly here to stay. Desktops today have more storage, more power, and more availability than people 10 years ago could ever have imagined. Heck, even the PDAs so many of us are carrying around have more power than high-powered desktop machines even 5 years ago.
So what's going to happen to all those compute cycles and terrabytes of combined storage? Well the game has just begun, if you believe this article:

Interesting to note, that doing the math ($800 Million revenue against 85 million users) that works out to a little under $10 per user! Time to re-calibrate the ECM business models!
Interesting point of view...

Too Many Online Storage Locations
His last question is a good one -- how to unify the access to all of those locations. Seems like this problem exists both inside and outside of the enterprise. I suspect there are other, related problems in the content management space that could benefit from more modern technology approaches. Food for thought.
