I will definitely never use my web browser for tasks like this. I’ve got a dual core processor, 2gb of ram, a huge hard disk, and fast video card. Why would I relegate this powerful machine to what amounts to the modern equivalent of a dumb terminal?

I am not opposed to data storage services, but I think Microsoft has the right idea with Sharepoint. SharePoint lets me decide if *I* want to host the data or if I want to trust someone else to do it.

One thing SharePoint is lacking which I think they are addressing in 2007 is offline synchronization. I need the ability to unplug and take my stuff with me, yet I appreciate the confidence of knowing an always up-to-date copy is back at the office on the server and available to me over the web if needed in a pinch. However, with th Tablet PC, I rarely find myself in a situation where I need to use someone else’s computer to access my data on the web.
