Is the World Ready for a Web-Based Desktop?
,----[ Quote ]
| There will be popular online desktops. But I expect it to be the next
| generation of Google Apps, not AjaxOffice. When all is said and done, no
| matter how important these thin desktops become, I still expect most people
| to get most of their work done on fat-client desktops with fat office
| applications. What won't surprise me though is that those desktops are
| increasingly going to be based on Linux, and the office suites will be built
| around OpenOffice rather than Microsoft's offerings.
