They think we are going back to all PCs being dumb terminals but instead of doing VT220 emulation, they will run IE and emulate a real web browser. I guess every home owner will then need to purchase a powerful server to do all the actual processing. Oh, that's right. We have the cloud they spent so much money on. And, that means they can license their software to us year by year rather than us being able to purchase it once and use it for 5-10 years since we all need to ridiculous bells and whistles added to Office each year. And, Intel can go back to selling millions of 80386 chips since you won't need an i7 to do web browsing. I guess they will focus on selling a few thousand Xeons instead. Yep. That's gonna happen. You might want to consider selling your Microsoft stock now. Whether it happens or not, it sounds a lot like Windows ME all over again.
