Cloud computing is a very interesting concept, but as others have noted, the penetration of broadband isn't where it needs to be to make this a super sound idea. Maybe in a decade.

I'm sure that Microsoft and all the big companies are already looking at this possibility and working with it, anyway, I don't see something like this coming so soon.. the next MS OS will certainly rely a lot on Internet connection but I don't think it's viable to do something 100% online right now.

I do like the modular idea though for both a corporate side (which I'm pretty sure they are already doing with the Server series) and home use, since that frees up a lot of space and minimizes resource taken.

Well... Maybe this one won't suck.
but I don't like the idea that people can hack my PC, even when its offline...
I've already been hacked before. About a month after I got the PC, and an hour before I deleted Internet Exploiter and started using Mozilla firefox. Also they could update my PC, NO THANKYOU! IF I WANTED SPAM, I'D GET WAREZ WITH THEM!
