Hi
> IMO, the IT world is in a major transition period
Actually I think we're in a major cloud-bloviation period. Sure it has
its place but I expect it to be a parallel option to desktops, not
a replacement. It's a kind of IT Lite for those with several
lightweight devices who don't really need the power of a modern
computer. There are always going to be security issues handing your
data over to someone else and of course the obvious one of how do you
get any work done when the network is down.
Desktops are cheap and highly modifiable and will last for as long as
people have desks to put them on.

PS: for a highly tweakable system with an excellent package manager I
recommend gentoo and http://www.aperiplus.co.uk/downloads/gentool.htm.
Bootable backups take all the pain out of upgrades.
