Neil,
Apologies again for forgetting to post your link — I’ve now added it. I 100% agree that semantic rationalization is a huge problem.

Clearly, a lot of these “predictions” are flavored by self-interest. Especially with respect to BI, the “users” could care less about the cloud. They need relevance, understanding and integration.
Some of these predictions are plausible only because they are so vague. Wayne’s for example – I can’t disagree with any of them, by they are constrained by words like “emerge” for example.
In my blog http://www.intelligententerprise.com/blog/archives/2008/12/a_prediction_fo.html#more which Timo didn’t pick up, I was pretty clear about these things. I described a “surround” strategy that is indifferent to clouds or xaaS. The lack of this semantic rationalization holds everything else back.
