This will, of course, cause more prototype-BI apps to be built. The result, I believe, is that the significant time and expense of Data Warehouse / Business Intelligence development, aimed at solutions that scale to bigger data, more complex data relationships and more simultaneous users sending in frequent uber-queries is, fortunately, delayed until after the prototype get's used and abused. So, a good Gemini prototype will not only delay the pain of formal DW/BI Dev, but potentially also reduce some of that pain, since a good prototype is, in the real-world, often the best business-requirements specification that a BI Developer will ever get.
