Well eventually what will probably happen is everything would be server based. As in no one would have a desktop at home. All they would have would be a monitor, mouse and keyboard. They would connect to a server which has all of their saved do!@#$%^&*ents, settings, files etc. I know of a certain company that is trying to install such a system but i'm not really allowed to say what one. There are a few problems that I see with this kind of system though. One being the lack of privacy, you can't be absolutely sure if anyone else is able to see what do!@#$%^&*ents and settings you have saved on your profile. Also, upgrading would be expensive and definatly not easy, say we had such a system now and in 5 years time a nbew game comes out that requires a meaty graphics card, how would it work then? You would probably have to pay for everything you have on your profile, such as software, music, movies, games. Pretty much whatever you can think of. The memory that would be required would be stupidly big. I'm not sure if they are going to be able to pull this one off or not. I don't see how it can work.
