Heres a small but interesting blogpost on the emergence of RIA (Rich Internet Applications).
http://swtrends.wordpress.com/2007/04/28/ria-a-new-category/
RIA coupled with AJAX (Asynchronous Java and XML) are what is making it possible for applications to move away from local desktops and reside & operate out of the internet instead. The implication for hardware vendors is clearly that - as these technologies get more grounded and stable - the PC is going to get thinner and thinner…..Voila !! - we arrive at thin clients again.
What traditional hardware vendors like HP, Dell and Lenovo need to understand hence is that they are in the business of selling access devices - today it’s predominantly PCs and laptops…. But tomorrow, increasingly it will be thin clients.
