What's that, you say? Virtualization is a big deal in the enterprise? Fascinating! Intrusion detection? You don't say?

I was going to post this same reply. Honestly, the fact that "Web 2.0" is listed so prominently makes me almost think they cut and pasted this from one of last year's lists.

I mean, call me crazy, But maybe a trend built around an ad-based revenue model isn't the best advice for the coming year.

I like how social networking is apparently a big deal for enterprises now. Yeah, that and offshoring to Zambonistan.
Trends in IT for 2009:

1. AIR

Many companies are finding that their clients are interacting in a dynamic way with air, including breathing and moving through it, expect this exciting trend to continue through '09.

2. MONITORS

From advertising to socializing, there are many online communities finding ways of analyzing data and experiencing graphic interfaces by using graphics and text displayed on a monitor. With more text and images on the web than ever before, don't expect monitors to be going anywhere in the new year.

TRENDS!
