Agreed!!! Now that Steve Jobs has left Apple and HP's bailing on the personal PC scene, I wonder how long it will be before everything just devolves into the mediocrity of the early/mid 90s personal computer scene: 1,001 ways to buy more or less the same PC. Even the Mac looked like PCs then. Only a company that controls the hardware and software has been able to do anything really creative so far. The rest generally me-too it. Business and military will drive towards VDI for more control if nothing else, but consumers may not respond well ever to the VDI/thin-client/crippled-computer thing unless there are no other options offered. I think Google should step up and be more Steve/Apple-like than ever and really grab the hardware side hard and make their own software really sing.
