Chuz,

For home use, I can't see thin clients replacing desktops or notebooks.

For business, there may be some overwhelming maintenance, reliability and support advantages at the cost of responsiveness. New Application development, implementation and support skills would be required.

I don't think we'll see a sudden or drastic change. Rather, if the advantages outweigh the costs we'll see a small number of applications long before there's any snowballing effect.

I wouldn't expect this type of change to successfully compete for Corporate Application development resources soon. These guys are notoriously slow to adopt anything new no matter how promising it can be made to sound.

FWIW,
Ian.
