The future?

Interesting (and short) video describing cloud computing here with Dave Chappell at Microsoft Tech Ed. Basically the premise is that cloud computing is a coming. But how will this affect us? Well I am being the ranting optimist and say that the sooner we move to online operating systems, online desktops, online everything then data will follow. Once people get used to the idea of a new online paradigm then hopefully a paradigm of complete interoperability and sharing of data can follow.

The cynic in me says that we are a very long way off this at the moment. There are huge problems to over come first.

The geek in me wants to embrace all this....
