Hi, > congratulations. you've just reinvented VNC along with TeamViewer and a half > dozen other "remote video display" systems. No he didn't. He actually proposed to implement client-side rendering instead of pushing pixels like broadway does. After all, any reason you actually confront people quite aggresivly so often?

Its simple in theory, but actually extremly hard. There are e.g. applications which require a read-back of image data from the server to the client. Furthermore canvas only implements a very tiny subset of the X rendering APIs (core and XRender), so you probably need to start with a software-rendering API for javascript from scratch. Furthermore, most of the time (with a few exceptions) latency is the big issue these days, not bandwith. > Imagine that we can host all sorts of fancy desktop software in central > servers in the cloud, and users just have to open the browser, get > access to remote server, and they can use them!

So if you think this is such a great idea, get started :) In case it succeeds, I am sure there are use cases for it.
