The mainframe will most likely be one or more racks of clustered PCs. The trend of putting apps on a server somewhere on the net is already a strong one. For example: http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=3D197002264 The only question left is what the platform will be. The leading candidates currently are Ajax and Java: http://www.oreillynet.com/onjava/blog/2007/01/is_java_more_efficient_than_a= j.html What seems clear to me that neither is adequate, which encouraged me to start the NewIO project. I think when there is an adequate platform then the trend will become pervasive.
