How this plays in the home market though? I'm having a real hard time seeing the value proposition there. It really isn't practical to stream the OS across the Internet. |
We sort of do that here. We run term server. There is still a local OS but all the work is done on the server. It would be better for some things to have it disk less. I can't imagine running CAD or a Solidworks program over a network.
