Here is a very interesting article on the "Future of Computing".
http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/02/marc_cuban_on_t.html
It resonates with an increasingly unanimous thought that PC architecture is breaking up to two streams : "game consoles for heavy duty apps that need processing power and the remaining casual apps, email, internet browsing, etc, will be done via internet-VM thin clients — sans dedicated OS"
The article ends by asking two searching questions :
- Which is a better development platform for app developers of the future, Vista or a Google Virtual Machine ?
- Which is a better consumer platform, using any low end PC to run all your non-multimedia apps, or worrying about upgrading to Vista ? Buying the latest Office apps or running them for free online ?
