Just a little note to all the centalized services folks. This year ~140 m computers will be sold. They will have on average a 1 Ghz processor and 40 Gb of disk. In contrast, there will only be ~4 m servers sold. It is easy to speculate that this year's PC shipments exceeded the combined power of the entire deployed centralized architecture of the Net by 5x.
