My company (KPMG) currently has over 100 000 workers. Most people have
a laptop with a hard disk of dozens of gigabytes. I was thinking, has
anyone thought of a distributed P2P file system, where all users could
offer, say 10 G disk space, so that our network would have a 10  000
Terabyte shared disk? I guess Plan 9 would be a good platform to try
ideas like this. I mean a virtual disk that would look excatly like a
real one, with good redundancy and error recovery, clever caching,
security...
