We'll use this an opportunity to remind everyone that you will be in the cloud by then, if you are not already. By that time a significant percentage of companies, especially On-Site Technical Solutions customers, will no longer be providing hardware to employees. These companies will give employees an allowance for a network device the employees will use to get to company applications in the cloud. Many of our clients won't even need a company network to run their business.
