The bold plan here is probably way more about the service of doing hosted PCs than this particular piece of hardware which is IMO a niche product at best. It's probably a safe bet people will continue to do more of their computing on SmartPhones, tablets, and other non-PC devices but many will still need access to a PC for different things. They may not really want to buy a PC they only use 10-20% of the time. Paying for access to one available in the cloud on any of your devices is a great solution. Not a new idea of course but if they make it a mainstream service it's something that could be successful in the post-PC world.
