MS believes that Databases are moving from the Industrial phase (thousands of them, maintained by specialists) to the Commercial phase (Millions of them, self-reliable, usable). Hi, Adam. Millions of databases? I don't get it. So is he basically saying that everyone's hard drive is going to become a database (after a fashion)? I'm having trouble visualizing the model, I guess. What information will be stored in these millions of databases? Can a personal Web site presently act as a front-end to one's hard drive, basically rendering it a database? Since this is still the "commercial" phase he's advocating and not yet the "consumer" phase, perhaps I'm getting too far ahead of myself. Sounds like he's saying the same thing Larry is, ostensibly that database use will increase overall, regardless of what phase you call it. Help me, Mark
