At the risk of causing a flamewar, it sounds like he wants Microsoft surface. It has all of those attributes when backed by SkyDrive apart from the fact you can't roll it up.
- acuozzo 14y agoCan you go to any other Microsoft Surface and see exactly what you saw on your own, including (but not limited to) your programs, data, and configuration/profile? Also, will the state of that other Microsoft Surface be exactly what yours was when you left it? That is, will your browser window located at (314, 159) with 6 tabs open and an HN post written in tab #2 appear on this other Microsoft Surface exactly as you left it on your own? If not, then the Microsoft Surface may not fit the bill. This is what you get with Plan 9 and a shared file server.
- meaty 14y agoNot entirely but 90% of it. Your programs, data and profile will move around and be cached if you sign in with a Live account. Some application state may be persisted differently but when you sign in to another PC, it'll all move across slowly. plan9 doesn't do what he wants either. You can't detach a window station from the 9p network and take it and all your data with you. Communication networks aren't reliable enough to maintain a 9p connection either. At least surface handles this... Hell RDP'ing into the office is the same as what he wants...
