FEATURED BLOG Salesforce.com's Wizard Was Parker Harris And TeamPosted By Charles Babcock
Much has been recorded about the rise of Salesforce.com and how Marc Benioff's clever marketing brought the company to the forefront.

Windows 7 Year In Review
Posted by Alexander Wolfe
The operating-system buzz in 2009 may have been split 60/40 between Windows 7 and Google Chrome OS, but only the former is here today. As to whether a Web-centric OS like Chrome can ultimately edge out the most polished traditional desktop version ever, that's yet to be determined. During 2010, though, I expect that Windows 7 will increase its footprint, as enterprises initially wary of adoption begin to fold Win7 boxes into heterogeneous environments.

2010 And Cloud Storage
Posted By George Crump
In 2010 cloud storage will continue to grow in use but like my other 2010entries, next year won't be the 'year' of cloud storage. As we discussed in our article 'What is Cloud Storage', people and organizations will use cloud storage differently. What is important is that they will use the architectures they are developing from cloud storage requirements more so than they had previously.
