People at ZDNet think that Google might be building a concept around a network PC where the basic PC that you are using is located somewhere else and you don't really have a hardy operating system on your local system. Actually a lot of us geeky people have been doing something like that for a long time. It started with Timbuktu for me and scaring people in other offices by taking over the GUI of their Macintosh to type curses while they were writing business letters but it includes using VNC or remote desktop to get to a PC that is somewhere else. As Jeremy and I discussed but didn't pursue about 15 months ago, I would be quite happy being able to get to a hosted Windows remote desktop with wicked software, performance, and disk space on it. But maybe that isn't necessary and someone can do the same thing with Linux so that you have a remote desktop farm at an ISP with wicked software on it that screams in the shared environment. If I had to go after a market who would use such a thing I'd go after graphic designers and software developers. They are always moving around and need high performance machines that nobody gives them to do their job. So why not give them some remote desktops to work on in a shared server environment with Photoshop, or whatever else on a monthly basis. Software as a service but through a managed desktop through remote desktop. It can happen. It probably will happen. I wonder who will make it happen first?
