Everyone likes to beat up on Microsoft (IBM was the punching bag in the 90's) but they are coming out with some truly incredible technologies/tools.
Microsoft Pivot, while still just an experiment, shows a vision of what data analysis could be.
Podo is already embracing some existing tools to distribute our customer's analytic data (via MS Analysis Services and Silverlight) which allows our stakeholders to browse near real-time data in the comfort of an Excel spreadsheet or a web browser Dashboard.
15 years ago I was thoroughly frustrated with the near impossibility of gaining access to my company's data. Today it is possible but still painful for the average guy.
Tomorrow? The only question is "How would you like your data? Big, Huge or Supersize?"
