Hello James

We used to have a mainframe.

The software titles were controlled by some bigwig and
we all had a 3270 or a Wyse, not vastly different in power
from a 286, on a pipe of maybe 10Kbps. Worked like a
charm. Then came minis, then PCs. You know the story.

Yes, a lot of stuff is already shifting to the net: emails,
photo albums, multimedia, even some of the backups.

But the CTXS will not be my ideal implementation for
the home user. If it did, I'd get large chunks of QQQ puts.
(and, abandon my car - what a pain to maintain.)

CTXS probably thrives in a corporate environment, where
it offers an excellent control over what titles people
use on their PCs. And, of course it's original proposition
for www access to the windows.

Nonetheless, a nice article. I also enjoyed your previous
post on CTXS, thanks. I do like the stock but I disagree
with your MSFT-killer prognosis.
