All,
I have read the actual 451 report ( 2007 grid adoption report) and it is
a very good report on the overall state of adoption. (I also think it
would be a good addition to the OGF20 Program).
There have been several articles that have been written on the report
that highlighted the issue of terminology (e.g. that the term grid may
or may not survive or may be replaced by some other term.) So ... my
read of the 451 report is that the overall industry is still struggling
regarding what to call this next stage in distributed computing (no
surprise ...) while real organizations continue to adopt the
technologies and solutions and gain competitive advantage. Mark
