While centralization of data storage is a good idea, it would not solve the entire problem. There are still multiple vectors for data leaks including USB drives, CDR, web-based email or forums, or even network transfers. Thin clients were a nice thought but a flash in the pan for the most part. No one has been able to make them practical. Blame the bloated OS's for that one.
