But in my mind cloud computing as it is now is a 50/50 between having a "Dumb Terminal" and having a full blown computer. You will in my mind never really want to have a fully "Dumb terminal" but i myself am very happy with the idea of persistant profiles between computers. So i take my settings everywhere all of my computers in my lan are in a sense a mini cloud where i sync my /home/~ to all of my machines so that i have the same experience on all machines that i have.<br>

I would enjoy a <a href="http://www.waveprotocol.org/" target="_blank">http://www.waveprotocol.org/</a> as something that i would order up from a "Cloud". For my usage i quite enjoyed wave for collaborative projects but google is discontinuing support. Although the Apache group have adopted the project and are actively developing it as opensource.<div class="HOEnZb">

What do you think the web browser is? e.g. Google docs. Accounting packages, ... the list is getting bigger.<br>

Be it on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.<br>

We're already there, and have been for some time. This paradigm change is why the Intel Atom, et al, is so popular.<div><div><br>
