We see 2 very different futures then.
I see a future where people just access 'the web', via whatever small thin client web browser device they like.
The vast majority of software will be running on servers, and end users won't really care if it's open source as long as it does what they want it to.
Real people use web browsers.
- bitdiddle 17y agowe've been to this future before, when mainframes ruled. We called them dumb terminals. Not as sexy as small thin web clients using comet and ajax and other cleansers but they worked. kidding aside, I don't buy it. P2P with local datastores will have a place. There's no way my tax returns will reside on google docs.
