So effectively your PC becomes a Google ThinClient.
Got all the Office Applications with Google Apps. Email/Communication with Gmail. The rest of the web. Multimedia with YouTube/Hulu/etc. Sounds like what majority of the people need. Even for work environments, would be pretty good (you can offer your proprietary application in the form of a web application).
- derefr 17y agoI'd enjoy replacing the "instant-on OS" partition on my notebook with this.
- stcredzero 17y agoWhat I want is a good enough "instant-on" that it's my only partition, and I no longer have to worry about hibernation or sleep mode ever again. Have orthogonal persistence for everything, so I never even have to save. Just open the clamshell, or hit the on button. Something comes along to distract me, I snap it shut, take care of whatever it is, then open it up again, wait a half second and continue on where I left off. The ideal laptop/internet pad would behave like the Nintendo DS, if the DS could hibernate, and not just sleep when you close it.

- tlrobinson 17y agoInteresting, I had seen OnLive (http://www.onlive.com/ http://www.onlive.com/) but not this one (http://www.gaikai.com/ http://www.gaikai.com/). So who copied who?
