I don't think the idea is to stream a windows session ala vnc, rdp, citrix, etc. What they're trying to do is to migrate the OS itself into something that can run on a browser and interact with the windows cloud vía xhr calls. web

What are the cognitive upsides? The only one that I can think of as an ex-smoker is that helps to control anxiety. At the same time knowing I was harming myself by smoking added a lot of anxiety.

Not an expert but I've read it's not easy to add all the necessary plumbing to provide showers and toilets if you redistribute office space into apartments. A lot of times office buildings will have one large bathroom per floor.

I think SQLite is fantastic and Richard is obviously a genius. But I always found his obsession with single binary monoliths odd. As you mentioned it goes against the Unix philosophy of do one thing and do it well. To me it's obviously
