Working at a place that is a leader in  data-intensive science, our batch farm 
is now either 3,000 machines or CPU's, I forget which, and the database is now 
895 TB, I hear about the grid frequently  SLAC belongs to the PPDG group, the 
Particle Physics Data Grid along with other high-energy physics labs, Caltech, 
the San Diego Supercomputing Center, UCSD, and the University of Wisconsin.  As 
I understand it, the real question about the grid is whether its ready for 
prime time; i.e. is it reliable enough.

Sure.  You will start seeing some of these, however, adoption of "grid" is very 
very small, and expensive.  It's the hidden costs that everyone forgets.
