John Gage: "The network is the computer", 1984
There's not really much more to be said than that. Most people here are aware of the competing visions of that time, and Microsoft never quite got it as their business model depended on (depends on) a computer on every desk. Apple never quite got it either (though, a little more now). Sun got it (obviously). Google got it even more.
- KERMIT 16y agoNo, I think Microsoft actually got it correct. It's a much better user experience to have usable applications running on a real computer, than it is to have half-baked web "applications" running on some remote "Cloud".
