Blah, ha ha ha ha

Oh yeah, I can just see my son playing Garry's Mod on a virtual desktop. Blah, ha, ha, ha.... Yeah, right.

Oh, oh, and I can just see virtualizing several thousand clients, all churning their spreadsheets, personal databases, e-mail, web browsers, compilers, graphics programs.

There's a reason why time-sharing systems died an inglorious death in the 70's, and have never returned. Modern computing is too intense for time sharing systems. These systems died for a reason, and those reasons have only become bigger and stronger with the passage of time (no pun intended).
