Unfortunately, though Bill Gates is not in the same
camp with him, the
billionaire CEO seems to think the public would benefit by paying for the
hardware and the software more or less forever. I'm not in agreement with
Well remember the "users" in his world view rips him off.

You bet.
An aside, I've worked with "thin" clients and they need to be resource rich
as network bandwidth is a fuel that makes them run instead of a local disk.
So swapping over the net is not workable. After all you need gigabit
eithernet to come close to DMA66 IDE disk performance!
Sounds like the old days, central computers and smart terminals.
