Web 2.0 shifts software power balance from business to consumer apps ?

There is a fascinating piece in this week's Economist about how power in software development is shifting from business based apps to consumer based apps, and how businesses are now adopting consumer apps in and around the business IT function.

For those old enough to remember, the last time this happened at such a structural level was the invasion of the PC into corporate worlds in the late 1980s imho.

This is going to be a Big Disruption I think....Salesforce.com is just the start.
