"with most speculation focusing on a shift of iTunes user libraries from user desktops to online storage"
And knowing Apple's genius decision making when it comes to iTunes, the online storage won't be streamed over a browser, it will have to be accessed via a local installation of iTunes, and will be slow and laggy and confusing as ever.
What gets me is why everytime iTunes gets an update, it makes you re-download and reinstall the full application. Why can't they just patch it the way Firefox does?

I assume they will need some parking spaces even for a "lights out" data center.
