The user experience is more critical today with the emergence of Web 2.0 during the past few years. Today wikis, blogs, and widgets are a part of the daily nomenclature in the work environment, but there are many questions around how this Web 2.0 world moves into the Enterprise world.

How do software vendors bring the best features and functionalities to the masses?
Are these companies spending their R&D on bringing to market small applications that focus on one task or are they focused on improving their core applications, or is both possible?
Do Web 2.0 apps have enough speed, security, and stability for the Fortune 500 CIOs and thousands of employees around the world?

This panel will provide color commentary about the Web and Enterprise 2.0 worlds and what is ready for prime time.
