The real promise of the 'NC' won't be realized until cheap flat panel
display technology is available. Then we can install fixed function
computers all over the place.

I fail to see the logic. Why would the availability of
cheap display technology have anything to do with the proliferation
of NC clients?

This will lead a shift towards a service based software economy instead of forced upgrades.

I think the shift toward a "service based software" or using
software delivered via the web has already begun in some forms
at least. For example, you can file your tax on-line via the
web browser today. The client application is provided by the
company itself. It may be upgraded without customers having
to pay any upgrade charge.
