Interestingly that was Microsoft’s vision for Windows where a Windows computer would serve as the home digital hub.
Ironically, it was open source operating systems that made it cost-effective to build the massive data centers that centralized the experience and killed that vision.
- GianFabien 1y agoThe problem with the Windows home computer vision was that it comprised of a bulky beige box with numerous power and data leads snaking out of it and a monstrous CRT based monitor (usually on top) and a huge clacky keyboard. Typically taking 6+ sq ft of table/bench space. Today's tablets are far more convenient to locate where they are needed and portable as well.
