Just a New Way.

Just a new way to get more money from subscribers.

Maybe if I wanted to use a very expensive program very occasionally, i.e. Photoshop, this might be a cheaper way. Other than that I don't see any advantage. Maybe this would allow people to easily take their desktop computers with them anywhere, but I can access my home computer with virtual desktop if I want to.

Edit: Maybe it would be a way to run processor intensive programs on an old underpowered computer?

Re: Just a New Way.

with the rediculoously low cost of hardware, why would anyone sign up for that. A more realistic turn of events would be for $ony and Micro$oft to add a keyboard/mouse package to the "gaming systems" and BAM!... heck, M$ is already trying to tie the XB360 with Netflicks... so there you go. a STB that can do all your entertainment and websurfing needs...

Someone just give me warning before SKYNET comes on-line...
