Re: Thin client computing

I can see this in fttp area's. Perhaps docsis 3 as well. I'd say its at least 5 years off.

The down side for me is I LIKE messing with my gaming rig its what got me into computers in the first place. Call it a hobby. I can see this being more of a draw for those pansy console gamers.

Otherwise this is a ridiculous idea for gaming.

Cloud computing:

Great for Word, horrible for Call of Duty.
