That&#8217;s a great personal accomplishment of course; I wish I were that smart.  But wouldn&#8217;t it have been great if he had noticed that what he was talking about was being built out right under his nose for the past 15 years? 8-)  I don&#8217;t fault him for that any more than I fault the bulk of the industry for also missing it (which is to say, a tiny bit 8-).<\/p>\n\n<p>Anyhow, hopefully this paper can be the catalyst that helps push the industry towards a better understanding of the power and value of the Web.  Of course, it also brings a new perspective to bear on the Web itself, from a seasoned distributed computing veteran, so that can only help Web proponents, perhaps motivating new Web based solutions.
