Abstract
The superconductor-insulator (SI) transitions in the two-dimensional limit was discussed. The studies of SI transitions in quenched condensed films was focused. It was shown that the bosonic picture of SI transitions proposed is at best only in qualitative agreement, as recent measurements suggest behavior more complex than a direct SI transition.
