As far as the web-based apps observation, if you are doing word-processing the online tools make the user experience pretty much OS-agnostic as it is. Personally, I'd love to see the day when bandwidth is to fat that we can start keeping the processing hardware on the other end of the pipe too. Can you imagine being able to yank extra processing cycles off the pipe from any machine you happen to be using on demand?
