[Joshua Thorp]

Very interesting, running a cloud based windows machine on your iPad.

Wow!  Finally the SunRay (desktop w/ all the bits on the server) for the Rest of Us!

OK, here's the dream that several folks at Sun Labs had: your desktop had a screen that you could pop out like a tablet.  So we're likely to get it today given the iPad and other tablet successes.

If they go entirely to the cloud for your backing store (Dropbox was mentioned), it'd be the end-game for all-your-data-everywhere (even TV)!

Pretty heady.
