It takes time to establish a new concept. It's way too early to pass
judgement.



John, this isn't a new concept. JAVA was supposed to steer us away from
having software loaded onto our machines and server basing the software by
using web-browser-based apps....exactly what iPhone is made for, like
WebTV, which didn't fly, either.

It was a total failure. The computing public is too savvy to let them take
away their local-based software from inside the machines and turn it into a
pay-per-view movie box office home appliance. It's not going to work!
Only the most naive users get sucked up into this rental scheme of pay,
pay, PAY. Software resides under user control ON HIS COMPUTER, now and
forever. The WebTV didn't work then...and it's not going to work now, no
matter how much revenue Apple pours into the ad company coffers.

You're old enough to remember the PC dongle fiasco that nearly put them all
out of the software business. Paranoid software companies punished paying
users with this nonsense....and the users sent a message back up the
revenue stream that said a resounding NO! Just as suddenly as they
appeared, the dongles went in the trash.

Apple's dream of user domination is a stupid concept the users, even Mac
users, aren't going to buy. It looks like the investor community isn't
buying into it, either....

From the Nokia N800 Linux tablet running INTERNALLY freeware rdesktop to
the Remote Desktop of my PC at home.....I bid you good luck...
