Grid Computing Explained

An anonymous reader writes "What's different between Grid computing and P2P, CORBA, cluster computing, and DCE? This article provides a cursory analysis of the similarities and differences between Grid computing and such distributed computing systems as P2P, CORBA, cluster computing, and DCE."

The author seems to have intuited their similarity by looking over their respective buzzword lists. All-in-all, the article seemed only vaguely in touch with reality. And it was targetted much more at management than technical folk, the kind of people who would ask "Should I be pushing my guys to use P2P or CORBA for the new CRM system?"

I'm fairly sure I'm stupider now than when I started reading.
