Google’s Drive appears to be the next step in their Open Office push for both the firm and what looks to be a continued (general) migration towards Cloud Computing (which interesting enough seems to harken back to the days of Mainframes in and as far as the notion of the importance / power of the network itself). Granted, today’s (Client) computing power is order of magnitudes greater than when the Mainframe held sway; nevertheless, with networking speed(s) and storage capacities continuing to be increase (as prices decrease inversely) the Cloud looks to be an important medium that’s highly likely to become more than simply a niche and/or passing fad/phase.
