Also oracle just jumped on the virtualization market. Looks like everything is going that direction. The VMware server product is very slick. I mean I use a host that basically does what dean described to roll out new virtual servers which you can put any OS on and run it however you want. I think that in the future we'll carry around little wireless devices (probably built by google) that will basically be a web access point and not have any actual fat client on it... all web based and virtual. I know this was big about 10-12 years ago with the "go to my pc" type of thing but, I think we are finally getting to the point where it will become a reality. Especially with Android and AIR...
