Don't you think it is targeted more at the SMB market?

Great write up! It'll be interesting to see which legacy players will still be standing by 2020.

In a piece I wrote on, “The End of IT 1.0 As We Know It Has Begun”, I arrived at similar conclusions. Lets see if they play out over this decade.

For those with the resources, this is a great time to launch a new business using this paradigm shift. The legacy companies have been caught flat footed and they're still out to lunch!

Keep up the good work!
