Pig in the Python

I was reading a recent article by Lou Agosta in DM Review http://www.dmreview.com/issues/2007_45/10000893-1.html and he suggests that “Conventional wisdom suggests this will be a year for digestion - neither the year of the snake nor the pig, rather the year of the pig in the python.” Very good analogy. He also talks about the data warehouse appliance. I personally like the idea of the data warehouse appliance and tend to agree with Lou.
