zero, I am not saying chrome OS is the answer just that things will change quite a bit. I don't believe there is one answer, I believe there are many.

The iPad type interface while useful is to burdened for support software to be useful by itself. The medical groups making use of it have to blow some serious coin on citrix to be able to use it effectively and meet legal requirements and using logmein ignition is too slow and burdensome to be a true solution. I have tried both and they work but the device is being used to do more than it really can handle.

No one can get around the fact the cloud computing is a huge part of what we will be using. I think no matter what this will be at the core of whatever is used in the future. It's funny seeing the paranoia that surrounds cloud computing and peoples ownership of their data. I find it humorous that people think their data is so much safer in "their" possession.

Anyway, things will continually change, everyone will have to adapt and move on.

I just can't get past the belief the software/programs/etc will have to play nicely together to survive and locking things down so tight it prohibits this will only spell death for the company that does it that way.
