Re: The PC will win the battle against server-based computing..

What MD means is that a server centric model of computing for
the masses won't win out... i.e. thin clients.

His assertion is that increasing the bandwidth of the internet will
necessitate more power on the desktop... not less.

Servers will deliver the content, PC's will manipulate it. Thin
clients or internet terminals rely on the server for all computing
tasks... not a good model for load balancing and would make the
internet seem slow again once the bandwidth bottleneck is removed.
