Actually this article was published in March 2003 as a Microsoft Technical Report: http://research.microsoft.com/research/pubs/view.aspx?tr_id=...

Jim Gray giving a presentation on the paper here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9016327917737413988&...

Definitely an interesting paper, I wonder how the number have changed in the last 5 years.
