Happy New Year everybody and thanks for tuning in to this great experiment. I’ve really enjoyed contributing to this blog over the past year (has it been a year already?? WOW). Here are my technology predictions for 2009:

– IT spending will focus on value = primarily defined by price.
– Microsoft and Xen virtualization solutions will seriously crack VMWare’s armor.
– The storage industry should be relatively recession-proof this year
– 2009: The Year of the Cloud.
– Premium hosters will lose business to value hosters who will lose business to cheapo hosters who will lose business to free hosters.
