Google: A giant hard disk in the sky? | Computerworld Blogs:



If Google starts to offer free, unlimited storage, things could get very interesting.


I don't know how I'd feel about using that - I know I wouldn't like putting anything commercially sensitive up there, despite the fact that I use gmail for my personal email.


What I do find very interesting overall, is Google challenging Microsoft - not head on, but by changing the fundamental nature of the playing field.


Very interesting.


Anyhow, just to bring this back on topic - you have to wonder what Google's back end storage systems for this are going to look like...
