This is one of the really good articles I have come across - that details out the different mutated versions that remote computing will take in the years to come. Talks about SBC (server based computing), CCI (Client Consolidation Infrastructure) and VDI (Virtual Desktop Interface).
The article traces how many view the desktop PC as the "source of all evil" in IT infrastructure - and there have been historically many attempts on the PCs life - notably from people like Larry Elisson of Oracle a few years back, which however failed. As the article states :
"That all could change in 2007, and this time the attempt on the PC's life is much more serious. In fact, the murder is planned by nobody less than the "parents" of the PC. Father IBM is involved, and so is mother Compaq (now part of HP). Yes, two of the most important companies in the history of the PC are ready to slowly kill the 25 year old. Will these super heavyweights finally offer a more cost friendly alternative to the desktop PC? Let's find out"
Do go through :
