Cloud Computing: How many servers does the world need?

I have been speaking about the trends of stuff such as Fortress and Walling-in for quite a while now. This article at FT reminded me that we should not forget that the following  will be done to us (no matter whether you like it or not):

Financial Times: Microsoft left behind in Cloud hungry netbook race

My set of predictions are going to be dramatic but anyways like the last one I dished out in Jan 2008, here are some simple and straight forward predictions:
