Take Note's

[oliverthered]

From reading through the artical Grid computing seems to be what Lotus Notes has been doing for years (just on a more general scale).

Notes has had some success in some, areas, but I believe the deployment cost, along with the technology of the time hindered it's adoption.

So I don't see why, in the current climate, I would use Grid technology over Notes.
