Slow down a little...

Apart from the fact that most reports (which are speculative at best seeing as MS really isn't saying that much about either Miduri or Singularity), there's no indication what-so-ever as to when it will see maturity.

As to a cloud-based OS... the day MS move me to a fully cloud-based OS is the day I walk!! I'm simply not willing to have my PC's usability tied up with whether or not the server running my apps is reliable or not.

Examples:
From my own experience, shot of a job app via Seek.com.au FOUR DAYS LATER it bounces back to my own email account. I'd rather just have dropped the application in person.

Users of Google apps were stuck only a couple of months back, when Google's servers malfunctioned.

Internet searches after Jackson's death, and back further with 911, crippled much of the internet, including many new sites, and even interfered with Google itself.

The simple fact is that the internet as a whole is no where near its evolutionary point where a cloud-based OS is even fesible, and when it does get there, it will be interesting to see just how much of this new web build remains free.
