All true, but I also saw a few other things along this line that suggest they might actually be working towards developing it now. I also dislike the idea of having a central computer only, but I'm reasonably certain that they'd allow you to keep an independent operating system as well.. or something.

Uhh the government also uses a whole ton of *nix.

 

Anyway I didn't just say that the stuff would be held on the internet, but it did say it wouldnt be limited to a SINGLE physical PC. That could mean oriented towards home and business networks also without using the internet for storage.

They've been working toward this for a while, hence why The Cloud networks are starting to become more dominant - and they're now working on The Grid which will provide an immensely faster networking system.
