This an article by KnowNow CEO that is a followup to the Vinod Khosla white paper "Real Time enterprises - A Continuous Migration Approach"  The Kholsa paper was part of the link Albert sent me re: The real time enterprise conference in San Francisco.
I've studied this white paper and believe it to be the basic "blueprint" to what we have discussed for some time.
