And from BBC News: Microsoft Sees End of Windows Era (must be what Techman was talking about).
So .... In the future Microsoft will want users to load up a virtual OS on our machines instead of an OS taken off of a CD??

Casey-
I need to correct your statement about Wasatch and 64-bit OSes. Wasatch is supported on Vista 32-bit and 64-bit. We added support for 64 bit OS the middle of May this year.

I am still very wary of the idea of Midori (and all cloud computing-based OS for that matter) because it has so many inherited risks compared to standard client installed OS. If your entire computer is on the network, hosted by some great server someplace, then your ENTIRE business computation is resting solely in their hands. If anything in their systems or the networking goes down, you're not just without the internet for a few hours, you might as well close up your shop and go home until the service is up and going again. Add to this the risk of data theft by having ALL of your personal data online all the time to be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Obviously there may be some great ideas coming from cloud computing like being able to access "your" computer from virtually anywhere that has the internet, but look at all the security and functionality issues that will arise undeniably.
and your next mac will emulate xp software. yay. stupid mac users.
Damn Techman... is that YOU?
